Mark Stephen hears the story of the Falkirk Wheel - Scotland’s stunning rotating canal boat lift - from the people who live by it and love it. The Wheel, nearly twenty years old now, has been likened in its design to a Celtic axe or a ship’s propeller or a slender necked bird, and when people describe it they look for units like ‘double decker buses’ or the energy it takes to boil kettles and run toasters. It’s the eye-catching, eco-friendly centrepiece of the millennium link project which restored the historic Forth and Clyde canal and the Union canal to navigability and gave Falkirk a landmark tourist draw to be a focus for regeneration. But has it lived up to its expectations? Mark finds out.
