Re: The Falkirk wheel
The late Fred Dibnah gave it his seal of approval on a TV show last night, . . it's the only one in the world, the total weight transported including water and barge is 600 tons, he also said Falkirk was the birth place of steam, Carron Iron Works made the first steam engine to go into a ship, a replica of which is moored at the wheel basin, her name is the Charlotte Dundas, there's a street with the same name nearby.
