We visited the Falkirk Wheel last month! It lifts 500 tonnes 80ft into the air using only 1.5KWh of power (it's actually energy N•m/s). - eviltoast

    We have three bridges next to each other from three different centuries! The Queensferry Crossing was the one you were on, built about 5 years ago. The one next to it is the old Road Bridge and the furthest away that is red diamonds is the rail bridge, it was built in the 1800’s and is one of a kind, unofficial wonder of the modern world.
