A trip to Falkirk will reward you with a fascinating visit to the Falkirk Wheel, a boat lift that represents a truly remarkable feat of modern engineering and which now links the Forth and Clyde Canals to the Union Canal. The Falkirk Wheel was opened in 2002 and was part of a successful, wider project of economic regeneration in the region.
The drive to the Falkirk Wheel from Best Western The Crianlarich Hotel is less than 60 minutes - see our suggested Self Drive Holidays in Scotland itinerary for more information and directions.
