More about Polmont Falkirk
Polmont is a village in the Falkirk council area of
Central Scotland. It lies towards the east of the town
of Falkirk.
Polmont is located approximately 4 miles (6.5 km) to the
east of Falkirk, Scotland. Old Polmont village borders
the town of Grangemouth, whilst from the east,
Linlithgow is around 4 miles away. The local settlements
of Redding, Brightons and Westquarter are also bordered.
The M9 motorway, linking Edinburgh and Glasgow, runs
through the village at the point between Old Polmont and
the modern settlement. Polmont railway station is
located on the main Edinburgh to Glasgow railway line.
Given its centralized situation, many locations can be
seen from Polmont. These include the Ochil Hills, the
River Forth, Wallace Monument and Cairnpapple Hill. The
people of Polmont are referred to as Polmonters.
The name Polmont derives from the Scottish Gaelic word
Poll-Mhonaidh, which translates as Pool of the Hill.
Old Polmont, situated on a raised beach overlooking the
Firth of Forth and the Ochils, was an important fort on
the Roman Antonine Wall. This fort, embankment and water
source has been marked out and can be visited in a
secluded forest, close to the M9 motorway. Also of
historical interest is the Culdees circle situated on
the corner of Gilston Crescent, and still clearly
visible.
The newer, modern Polmont has developed mainly from the
1970s with the Gilston Estate, and further up towards
the railway and station, just before the adjoining
Brightons settlement.
Polmont has prospered and is currently a commuter
settlement with enviable motorway and train links to
Glasgow and Edinburgh, which has pushed the housing
count, values and social class up.
Polmont was originally included within the parish of
Falkirk, but was severed under the authority of the
Court of Teinds (teind is the Scots word for tithe), and
erected into an independent parish, in 1724. Very few
particulars of its early history have been recorded,
though undoubtedly it must have participated more or
less with Falkirk in the wars between the Romans and the
Caledonians under Fergus II, and in many important
transactions subsequently.
Until within the last few years vestiges of the wall of
Antoninus, or Graham's Dyke, as it has generally been
called since the time of Robert Graham, who was killed
by the Romans while fighting under Fergus, could be
distinctly traced in its way through the parish from the
Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde; but in the
progress of cultivation within the present century, they
have been totally obliterated.
On a hill beyond the village of Redding is a stone
called Wallace's stone, marking out the spot from which
Sir William Wallace, after his quarrel with Sir John
Stuart, one of the Scottish chiefs, is said to have
viewed the battle of Falkirk, from which he had been
compelled to retire, and to have witnessed the defeat of
the Scottish army. |
