Bo'ness is a coastal town on the south bank of the Firth of Forth, 16 miles (27 km) north west of Edinburgh and 6 miles (10 km) east of Falkirk.
The first mention of a settlement where Bo’ness, or Borrowstounness, stands can be traced back to Roman times when, it is believed, it formed the eastern end of the Antonine Wall, the northernmost border of the Roman Empire. Traces of it still run through the centre of the town.
From the early 18th century, the town established a reputation as one of Scotland's major ports and a centre of heavy industry. Glimpses of this industrial past can be seen on the preserved Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, whose steam trains run for 3 miles (5 km) from Bo'ness to Birkhill.
Major attractions in the area include Blackness Castle, an impressive stronghold on the Firth of Forth coastline to the west of the town, Kinneil House and Museum, The Hippodrome, Scotland’s oldest cinema, Bo’ness Motor Museum and the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway which offers steam train rides and special themed days such as their ever popular 'Thomas the Tank Engine Days'. Scotland’s largest railway museum, is also on site, with three large buildings full of wonders - from full-size locomotives to old fashioned railway signs. Get hands on and discover railway history through fun interactive displays, Find more Bo'ness attractions on the 'Unlock the Secrets of Bo'ness' map.
The historic town centre has some lovely hidden gems from quirky bookshops and independent boutiques, to traditional fish and chip shops and ice cream parlours, so make sure you stop and take a look. Bo'ness is ideally situated to reach attractions in nearby Falkirk such as the Falkirk Wheel, Callendar House and The Kelpies as well as the city of Edinburgh.

Hello & welcome to Scottish Journeys. I enjoy going for walks, travelling & general sightseeing. I created this RU-vid channel so I could share my journeys with you virtually. Every week, I will share videos of my leisurely strolls and bus journeys throughout Scotland (plus the occasional bagpipe video). My videos offer a serene and tranquil experience, with no background music or commentary, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the calming ambience of nature. Through my lens, you can appreciate the beauty of my home country of Scotland and perhaps find inspiration for your next walk or holiday.
Most of my videos are filmed in first person perspective as a virtual walking tour or bus ride in crystal clear 4K HDR High Definition using 3D Binaural Audio 🎧 so you can experience these places as if you were there with me.
Thank you for visiting my channel, and I hope you enjoy my travels.
