Just got off the Falkirk Wheel and it's a great experience on an incredible bit of engineering. We were taken up, piloted along the aqueduct, turned around, and came back the same way. Smooth ride, barely even notice you're being lifted or lowered.

Heading back towards through and we've got a sea day tomorrow before we reach the Shetlands.

Dockside on a cloudy day with a canal barge boat nearby. In the background there is an engineering structure best described as metal bottle openers or stylistic birds with beaks pointing left, connected by cylindrical tubes. They can lift the boat and rotate it around while another is brought down.

@neonbubble You've docked at Greenock and gone visiting the other side of the country? Fair enough tbh, the Falkirk Wheel is pretty cool.

Watch out for UFOs round there, though.

@thegiddystitcher The captain of our Wheel boat pointed out the town famous for its lottery wins and UFO sightings, mentioning that champagne after one may have led to the other.

Yes, nothing took our fancy in Glasgow and we wanted to do something a little different.
