THE VENUE

The Falkirk Wheel

As the world’s first and only rotating boat lift,
The Falkirk Wheel is quite simply unique.

The magnificent structure has been hailed as a monument to the skills of modern engineering and was created to replace the flight of eleven locks that originally connected the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals.

Now established as one of Scotland’s leading visitor attractions, The Falkirk Wheel is the spectacular centrepiece of the £84.5 million Millennium Link project, which has
re-established the waterway link between Scotland’s east and west coasts, and between Glasgow and Edinburgh, after a break of seventy years.

Situated in a natural amphitheatre between two of Scotland’s most historic inland waterways,
The Falkirk Wheel - with its basin, expansive areas of hard standing and excellent transport links - is the ideal location for The Scottish Boat Show.
