Falkirk is a town in central Scotland lying to the north west and north east of the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. In 2004 the population was the 20th largest settlement in Scotland. However, the wider Falkirk Area, which includes nearby towns such as Grangemouth, Larbert and Stenhousemuir, has a population of 97,180, making it the 5th largest urban area in Scotland, after Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee.
The town lies at the junction of the Forth and Clyde Canal In the 18th and 19th Centuries Falkirk was at the centre of a large iron and steel industry.In the last 50 years or so the vast majority of Falkirk's heavy industrial base has disappeared, with the economy of the town becoming increasingly services orientated.
Today Falkirk functions as the principal retail and administrative centre. Attractions include Falkirk Wheel, remnants of the Antonine Wall, and Callendar House.. |
