A Very Unusual Waterwheel
Image: © Ann Harrison Taken: 29 May 2008
This waterwheel at Delgatie Castle works on a circulation system, water is pumped up from below the waterwheel and directed onto the wheel from the pipe above.The force of the water, from the pipe drives the wheel. I have seen many water wheels in my lifetime but I have never seen one powered from above before.
