Day 16 - Friday 14th July - The Falkirk Wheel Ride

 Day 16 - Friday 14th July

Falkirk Wheel Ride

Weather: Cloudy and Drizzly all day

We set off from Carbeth House at 10:00 am and headed for Falkirk to get a ride on the wheel. When we got there at 11:15 am the next ride was at 12:00 am.

Just beside the Visitor's Centre there was this amazing "woven" horse and lady -


 ... and just inside was this wolf woven out of wire -



so we decided to have lunch in the visitor's centre


At 11:50 am we lined up with everybody else to get on the Antonine canal boat for the ride -





At 12:00 noon we were on our way up -


At the top there was a wait of a few minutes before we set off down the canal to the tunnel -


Once through the tunnel the boat turned around -


... to head back to the top of the wheel -

... and back down to the bottom.
