    Hi Roger, good vlog. That tunnel was spooky! Interesting to hear of the Burke/Hare connection. The Falkirk Wheel is a fantastic piece of engineering. 😊 👍

    Went on the Falkirk Wheel some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, hoping to repeat the experience before too long.

      Cheers Richard. I also walked all the way back to the station so I was knackered when I got home. Should have taken a cab back! 😂😂😂

    Next time you're at the wheel, check out the Roman fort... you can really feel the power of history! 😛

    Where the railway runs underneath the Canal it used to run through Twin Tunnels that network rail replaced in the Electrification upgrade of the Falkirk & Dunblane to Glasgow line making just the 1 tunnel

    Glad you didn't visit the canal through Wester Hailes area . You probably would have been pushed into the canal by neds on bikes.
