Official information
The Falkirk Wheel is the world's only rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It allows boats to ascend and descend 35 meters in just five minutes, transforming the journey that once required multiple locks into a quick and efficient experience.
From the Wikipedia article
The Millennium Link is one of the biggest engineering projects ever undertaken by British Waterways. The Union Canal and the Forth & Clyde Canal were originally joined by a flight of locks. The Millennium Link project replaced the locks with a boat lift, the Falkirk Wheel. The project launch was in October 1994, and it received a grant of £32 million from the Millennium Commission; the total cost of the project was £78 million. Work started in 1999.
