This
is the site of the Falkirk Wheel.
You can see the three huge concrete pillars in the background. |

This
is the holding basin where the Forth and Clyde Canal joins the
Falkirk Wheel. |
 |
|
 |
| The
fourth Pillar is now being constructed. |
|
Above
the Pillars, work is well underway with the tunnel which will run
underneath the Roman Wall, and join the Union Canal. |
 |
|
 |

This
is where the Union Canal goes underground and emerges at the
Wheel. |

This
is the entrance to the tunnel above. |

This
is Lock 12 with the old Rosebank distillery on the right and
Rosebank House on the left. |

Locks

them. |

is the main Bainsford to Falkirk bridge, with Lock 6 nearby. There is also a nice view of the Canal logo etched into the
concrete plynth. |
