The Falkirk Wheel is an ingenious boat lifting device that connects the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It opened in 2002. It's a fascinating piece of kit and worth a stop on your run to watch it in action. The canal paths in both directions are brilliant for running, you've got miles of flat, traffic free & well surfaced running, perfect for training runs of any distance. Popular with bikes and walkers as well though so best get out early if you want to run without interruption.
