 Falkirk Wheel Visitor, Image Courtesy © RMJM Completed ahead of schedule in April 2002 and opened in May 2002 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Falkirk Wheel honours the bold vision and imagination behind the Millennium Link itself. It is a functional sculpture which both symbolises and celebrates the renaissance of the two canals – and what yet may follow.

Provision is made within for display areas, cafe and office spaces, all gathered together under a timber clad building form allowing uninterrupted views of the Wheel through a 45-degree glass wall.
