About Falkirk - show infohide info
Falkirk is situated in central Scotland west of Edinburgh. Falkirk is one of 32 unitary council regions in Scotland. Falkirk borders onto North Lanarkshire, Stirling and West Lothian. Falkirk has had strategic importance since Roman times, when the Roman Empire built the Antonine Wall between the Firths of Forth and Clyde to form its northern frontier. Many of the best visible remains of the Romans in Scotland occur in the Falkirk Area. The first in July 22, 1298 saw the defeat of William Wallace by King Edward II and saw the occupation of Scotland by the English until Robert the Bruce's victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 restored independence. Although the English refused to recognise the fact until the treaty of Northampton 14 years later. In the 18th century the area served as the cradle of Scotland's industrial revolution, becoming the earliest major centre of the iron-casting industry and at the forefront of canal construction when the Forth and Clyde Canal opened in 1790. The Galashiels area continues to function as a very significant industrial and business centre, with a modern petrochemicals complex at Grangemouth, Scotland's largest deep-sea container port.
