Famous Falkirk Attractions

Falkirk is a town in the Forth River Valley. It is home to two of Scotland's most visited attractions, The Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies.

The Falkirk Wheel is the world's only rotating boat lift. It connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal, making coast-to-coast transit possible once again.

Previously, the canals were connected by a flight of 11 locks, which took most of a day to pass through. Due to disuse, were dismantled in 1933. Now the boat lift raises and lowers boats 115 feet in only 5 minutes!

Then we visited the Kelpies, the world's largest horse sculpture, unveiled in 2014. They are 100 feet tall mythical Scottish Water Spirits, and a monument to Scotland's horse-powered industrial heritage.Read more
