The Falkirk Wheel is the world's only rotating boat lift. It connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal using a series of cogs and amazing examples of solid engineering understanding to lift boats up 24 metres (79 ft) in one jump instead of navigating 11 Locks. The two opposing arms were inspired by the double headed axe of the Celts and uses the Archimedes' principle, which is why one of the boats is called the Archimedes. The music is "The Benny Hill Show Theme" its called "Yakety Sax" and is buy Boots Randolf. Please enjoy.
