Falkirk Wheel on show in landmark museum
It has been loaned to the museum by Scottish Canals along with a diagram of the Blackhill Inclined Plane, which used steam technology to carry boats over a 100 feet high gap.
Spanning a period of around 150 years, the exhibits aim to help showcase Scotland’s design and innovation heritage.
