At the beginning there were two canals:Canal Forth and Clyde was built in 1777 between harborsGrangemouth and Falkirk connecting Glasgow with west cost of Scotland.Canal Union between Falkirk and Edinburgh was finished in 1822.Because of geographical difficulties, which created a differenceof 79ft.in elevation, the two canals were connected by 11 locks.
 
In 1963, after 150 yrs of existence of this water way with 11locks the construction of a huge water carousel started. Thisextraordinary idea was finished in 2002 and became a symbolof Scotland. This invention saves not only time but alsoenergy.
