Join me for a walk around the fascinating town of Falkirk, located in the heart of Scotland's Central Belt, and home to riveting heritage on every corner! The original home of Irn-Bru, once the site of the Roman Antonine Wall and the place where two iconic historic battles occurred, Falkirk is an enthralling place to explore!
On our walk around Falkirk, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Falkirk Steeple, Market Place, Falkirk Trinity Old Parish Church, the tomb of Sir John de Graeme, High Street, the old Sheriff Courthouse Buildings, Boer War Memorial, the site of the old Town Hall, St. Andrew's West Church, the statue of the Duke of Wellington, Falkirk Old Grammar School, The Carron Works Pub (formerly Bank Street Picture House), Woo'er Street, Tolbooth Street, the Tolbooth Tavern, King's Court, Pleasance, site of Falkirk Roman Fort and Antonine Wall, the Tattie Kirk, Cow Wynd, Callendar Square, the old Cross Keys pub, and the Callendar Arms.
