The Falkirk Wheel is an impressive feat of modern engineering located in Falkirk, Scotland. It is a rotating boat lift that connects the Union Canal with the Forth and Clyde Canal, allowing boats to travel between the two waterways. Completed in 2002, the wheel stands at 115 feet tall and uses only 1.5 kilowatts of energy to rotate. It has become a popular tourist attraction in Scotland, drawing visitors from all over the world who come to marvel at this engineering wonder. The Falkirk Wheel is not only a functional piece of infrastructure, but also a testament to human ingenuity and innovation.

Today was the final day of our #geology of #Scotland tour and we saw 3 #volcanoes We started the day in the @lochaber_geopark crossing the Great Glen Fault by the Corran Narrows ferry. We then visited the Ballachulish slate quarry which roofed most of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Here, 650 million-year-old marine sediments were contact metamorphosed to slate in the Devonian by the #Glencoe volcano. In the amazingly beautiful Glencoe we saw sills, dykes, rhyolite lava flows and pyroclastic flow deposits in the sheer, glacially-eroded cliffs. We also learnt about the 1692 massacre and its important role in history. We then lunched at the #Falkirkwheel before returning to Scotland's capital #Edinburgh Here we had views of Edinburgh Castle and the glacially eroded volcanic vent it sits on. In Holyrood park we saw the vent of the Arthur's Seat volcano and an important sill eminanting from the volcano: Salisbury Crags, which includes the globally important geosite, Hutton's Section (which is temporarily closed due to rock falls - but we got a distant view). All in all it's been an awesome trip - thank you Scotland! (at Glen Coe, Scotland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8p5mYJzE1/?igshid=1rnt4zpryq4qv
