Secret Falkirk

Secret Falkirk

by JackGillon (Author)

Synopsis

Falkirk is a small town with a big history. Its strategic location, at the crossroads of lowland Scotland, contributed to its key role in Scotland's history. The Romans were the first to make a significant mark on the district, William Wallace and Bonnie Prince Charlie fought the English nearby, cattle were driven from all over Scotland to the great trysts in the area, central Scotland's canals came together at Camelon, and local foundries fuelled the Industrial Revolution. Secret Falkirk delves into the town's past and offers an insight into aspects of its fascinating history that may not be familiar to many Falkirk Bairns.
