The Falkirk Wheel

One of the highlights of the summer was a cycle run along the Union Canal towpath from just east of Linlithgow along to the very impressive Falkirk Wheel which can lift barges from the Forth and Clyde Canal up to the Union Canal, doing away with the need for locks.
A few miles before the Wheel the canal goes through a tunnel of 630 metres which is dripping wet and quite poorly lit, quite an experience!
