The Falkirk Wheel is the world’s first and only rotating boat lift, designed and built to connect the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Union Canal which allows coast to coast navigation across central Scotland.
The magnificent structure stands 115ft tall and requires only the power of eight domestic kettles to raise boats through the air and transfer them between the two canals. The Falkirk Wheel is both a feat of engineering but also a work of art and is now an iconic Scottish landmark

Whilst St Andrews is Fife's major tourist destination, Fife's towns and villages are they full of character! Plus, you can discover them all on foot and soak up the impressive views as you follow the Fife Coastal Path which stretches 117 miles right around the coastline and is Scotland's longest continual coastal path. From the cosmopolitan atmosphere of St Andrews to the quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk of Fife such as Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans, Elie and beyond, the region is peppered with picturesque sea towns and villages.
The Tentsmuir Nature Reserve is also well worth a visit for it's forest trails and fabulous unspoiled beach
