More about Falkirk Scotland
The Falkirk area - right in the heart of central
Scotland - has an illustrious commercial heritage which
continues today. Alive with history, visitors to Falkirk
can explore the Roman remains of the Antonine Wall,
watch large pots steaming in the 19th century kitchens
of Callendar House. Falkirk is also home to the
engineering marvel of the Falkirk Wheel – the world’s
first revolving boatlift.
The Antonine Wall dates back to the 2nd century, and
marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.
Kinneil Estate, meaning ‘Wall’s End’, has the best
preserved sections of the wall along with the
foundations of a fortlet.
Other parts are visible at Callendar Park, Polmont Hill,
Watling Lodge and at Tamfourhill, where the defensive
ditch can be seen to its best advantage. Roughcastle, at
Bonnybridge has the most complete fort on the wall.
Imagine a Latin legionnaire, looking out from the wall
into the wild land of the blue-painted Picts. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, the wall was only held for 20 years
before the imperial forces retreated further south,
finding the struggle to subdue the Picts a thankless
task.
Somewhat younger, Blackness Castle is a 15th century
fortress which stands proud on the banks of the Firth of
Forth near the peaceful little village of Blackness. Its
situation is most appropriate, as the shape of its outer
wall is said to resemble a battleship.
The moody and atmospheric castle made the perfect
setting for the film version of Hamlet, starring Mel
Gibson. In another tragedy, this time real life, Falkirk
also witnessed the tragic defeat of Scotland’s national
hero, Sir William Wallace, in the battle of 1298.
Falkirk played a major role in the growth of the
industrial revolution. James Watt developed his steam
engine in the area. Carron Iron Works, which once led
the world in iron smelting, and was famous for its
‘Carronades’ cannon, which defeated Napoleon at
Waterloo.
The Forth & Clyde and Union Canals played a key role in
carrying raw materials and finished products. Today,
with the completion of the Millennium Canal Link and the
Falkirk Wheel at Tamfourhill just outside Falkirk, it is
possible for boats to travel across Scotland from
Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea for the first time in
over forty years. The Falkirk Wheel is the world’s first
revolving boat lift and visitors to the Falkirk Wheel
can board a vessel for The Falkirk Wheel Experience - to
view the Falkirk Wheel from land or water.
Falkirk today is a modern town of sizeable proportions,
with excellent shopping facilities in two covered
centres and pedestrianised mews. The Mariner Leisure
Centre has a huge leisure pool complete with waves
children’s chutes and a beach area, all in a tropical
atmosphere.
The impressive mansion of Callendar House, standing in
attractive parkland in Falkirk, features an exhibition
which reveals the 900 year history of the house. Sample
freshly cooked delicacies in the restored working
kitchen, visit period shops or delve into history in the
Victorian Library.
The exhibition “Forbes’s Falkirk” allows visitors to
experience life in Victorian Falkirk. The mansion’s
policies, Callendar Park, offers a wide range of leisure
pursuits - pitch and putt, crazy golf and boating, and
pleasant walks. |
