Falkirk wheel

Quakers' own version of graffiti artist Banksy was also at Summer Gathering for the unofficial excursion to the Falkirk Wheel!

This rather Heath Robinson machine operates a pair of rotating tin baths which move boats from one level to another without the tedium of locks, in this case eleven locks which used to connect the Union canal with the Forth and Clyde canal before becoming disused last century.
