Whether it’s Winterfell fromSkyrimor even Rapture fromBioShock, one can draw similarities between those locations and ones found on our planet.

The Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift in Tamfourhill, connects the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal via a very interesting operating model.

It’s one of the coolest locations in the game!
Now overrun by ghouls and the Scorched, the elevator stands as a reminder of the time before the Great War and nuclear strikes. Players can traverse the structure by using the various planks and scaffolding placed by unknown parties who called the location their base for a while before abandoning it.
