Comment Falkirk wheel in Scotland (Score 1) 145
Damn, I was in London/Europe up until 4 weeks ago and was thinking "wouldn't it be great if there were a travel guide exactly like this". Of course, it never occurred to me that such a thing would be a dead-tree book.
Oh well, here's my own contribution, if it's not already in the book - the Falkirk wheel, halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland. It's a massive rotating boat lift, used to replace a series of locks, quite ingenious the way the two 'buckets' are kept in perfect balance and fascinating to see in action.
Here's a time lapse movie
of it in action.
