Scotland’s first tourist e-boat sets sail from The Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies

Scottish Canals latest offering at The Falkirk Wheel was officially launched by Transport Minister, Jenny Gilruth MSP alongside Scottish Canals CEO, Catherine Topley as part of Climate Week.

Visitors to the world’s only rotating boat lift, can now experience a little more canal side scenery in an environmentally conscious way by hiring one of Scottish Canals new e-boats.

Curious captains can now hire a boat and cruise along the Forth & Clyde Canal between The Falkirk Wheel and Bonnybridge enjoying the views from the waterway.

The venture, at one of the nation’s top tourist spots, The Falkirk Wheel, has been met with a flow of interest as a growing number of tourists and day-trippers seek to enjoy new experiences in a sustainable way.
