Day Trip to Falkirk

Decided I needed to get out of Glasgow during the Christmas Break, so took myself off to Falkirk for the day. Only about 20 minutes on the train meant it was nice and easy to do.

The Falkirk Wheel is a boat lift that links two of Scotland's canals. I got to see it in action lifting a canal boat from the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal.

A short walk away is part of the Antonine Wall, a remnant of the Roman occupation. Amazing to see two engineering feats close together in distance, but far apart in time!
