It was the first canal connecting the Seas. The Falkirk Wheel boat lift is located in the Loch Lomond region, in The Trossachs The Forth Valley in the middle Scotland. 苏格兰第一运河——连接爱尔兰和北海的福斯和克莱德运河起于格拉斯哥止于格兰奇茅斯，在1790年开始运行。它是第一条连接外海的运河。福尔柯克轮升船台位于洛蒙德区域，在苏格兰中部的特罗萨克斯和福斯山谷区。 A major challenge faced, was to link the Forth and Clyde, which lay 35m (115ft) below the level of the Union canals ?. Historically, the two canals had been joined at Falkirk by a flight of 11 locks that stepped down across a distance of 1.5km, but these?were dismantled in 1933, breaking the link. 工程面临的最大挑战是福斯和克莱斯运河水面低于新联盟运河35米（115英尺）。历史上英国人曾用台阶式的水坝在福尔柯克处连接两条运河，该水坝共有11个台阶，全长1500米。但到了1933年，水坝被拆，两运河再次“咫尺相隔”。 The idea of using the canals in tourism appeared in the mid-70s of the 20th century . The idea came true with the Millenium Link project, which has renewed the canals function . In the beginning of 90s the place for boat lift construction was chosen, close to the former system of 11 locks. Many proposals were submit but only one has won. The proposal of the current situation then won several awards all over the world. Total costs of the whole complex were 20 million GBP, the boat lift itself cost approx. 5 million GBP. 在二十世纪七十年代中期关于发展运河观光旅游的想法开始出现，随着千禧连接项目的启动，这个想法得以实现，并且重新定义了运河的功能。在九十年代初期关于升船机的选址被确定，和之前11阶水坝的原址相隔很近。关于升船机提出了很多想法，但只有一个方案胜出。就是现有设施的方案淘汰了来自世界各地的其他方案。整个复杂的工程耗资20，000，000英镑，而升船机主体耗资5，000，000英镑。
