Top tourism award for the Falkirk Wheel
01 May 2007
The world's first and only rotating boat lift beat off competition from a host of projects across the UK to pick up the top prize in the Tourism & Recreation category at the awards ceremony in Manchester on March 21. The attraction also secured a special Outstanding Achievement award on the night.
To add to the celebration the Auchinstarry mooring basin was commended in the Innovation Category.
‘This is a fantastic achievement,’ said Steve Dunlop, director Scotland at British Waterways (BW). ‘The Falkirk Wheel has won a number of awards since 2002, however, the Outstanding Achievement award is particularly pleasing as it acknowledges the huge effort that has been made over the past few years to create a top class visitor attraction...... I am also delighted that the ambitious and innovative programme to transform the canal at Auchinstarry has been recognised by the judges.’
