Falkirk Tunnel
From Underfoot
Falkirk Tunnel is a canal tunnel on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal dug through Prospect Hill in Falkirk, Scotland. Completed in 1822, the tunnel is 630 metres long. It was built because the owner of Callendar House had objected to the planned canal spoiling the view from their property.
