Falkirk Wheel

Ribbon of renaissance which links east and west NOT so very long ago, a walk along much of what was left of the canal network linking Edinburgh and Glasgow was a pitiful experience. Supermarket trolleys and old mattresses lay dumped in the murky water, overgrown tow paths were a haunt for vandals and wildlife was disappearing.

Healthy turnover at Falkirk Wheel as visits rise faster than any other UK attraction THE Falkirk Wheel has enjoyed the largest rise in visitors of any British tourist attraction, figures released yesterday show.

Canal chief floats his new vision A STRING of canal-side pubs will open as part of plans to attract 30 million visitors each year to Scotland's inland waterways.

Chemical waste dumped near Falkirk wheel Police and environmental officials have launched a joint investigation after several large bags of chemical waste were found dumped near the Falkirk Wheel tourist attraction.
