The Falkirk Wheel, located in central Scotland, is the world’s only rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. Opened in 2002, it replaced a series of old locks that had fallen into disuse. The wheel lifts boats 24 meters (79 feet) between the two canals in a smooth, energy-efficient rotation, using Archimedes principle to balance the water and boats perfectly. Its striking, modern design has made it both an engineering marvel and a popular tourist attraction,
