Falkirk Tunnel

Falkirk Tunnel is a canal tunnel on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal dug through Prospect Hill in Falkirk, Scotland.

[1] Completed in 1822, the tunnel is 630 metres long.

[2][3] It was built because the owner of Callendar House had objected to the planned canal spoiling the view from their property.

[3][4] The murderers Burke and Hare worked on the construction of the tunnel as labourers.
