Make the Falkirk Wheel Scotland's most treasured place

The Falkirk Wheel has been selected as one of the top 100 Scottish monuments – and you could help make it the nation’s most Treasured Place.

As part of its centenary celebrations, The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) has launched a public vote to find Scotland’s favourite piece of built heritage.

One hundred photographs, including one of The Wheel, have been selected for the RCAHMS Treasured Places: Scotland’s Favourite Archive Images project.

Scotland's favourite built heritage

To help The Falkirk Wheel secure it’s rightful place at the top of the list, log on to www.treasuredplaces.org.uk and place your vote.

Carole Keltie, Manager, The Falkirk Wheel, said: "It is an honour to be chosen as one of the 100 most treasured images of Scotland. Over a million people have visited The Wheel since it opened in 2002 and we would be delighted if every one of them voted – which would surely see us crowned Scotland’s most Treasured Place."

"It's an honour to be chosen"

The top 100 include: castles, feats of engineering and pieces of architecture and at the end of October, the ten with the most votes will then compete to become Scotland’s No.1 Treasured place.

The top ten will also be given a place in a major centenary exhibition that will tour the country next year.
