The town lies at the junction of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, a location which proved key to the growth of Falkirk as a centre of heavy industry during the Industrial Revolution. In the 18th and 19th centuries Falkirk was at the centre of the iron and steel industry, underpinned by the Carron Company in the nearby village of Carron. The company was responsible for making carronades for the Royal Navy and also later many pillar boxes. In the last 50 years heavy industry has waned, and the economy of the town relies increasingly on retail and tourism. Despite this, Falkirk remains the home of many international companies like Alexander Dennis, the largest bus production company in the United Kingdom.
From 2003–2007 the Council was led by an SNP/Independent coalition, but after the 2007 elections a Labour/Ind coalition of 16 councillors equalled the SNP/ Tory/ Independent 16, so a pack of cards was cut. Labour's card was higher than the SNP's. To form a stable administration Labour then formed a coalition with the 4 members of the Conservative and Independent Partnership. This Labour/Conservative /Independent coalition hold 18 seats compared to the 13 SNP and 1 non-aligned Independent. The leader of the administration is Councillor Craig Martin.

Archimedes and a Boat Lift: the Falkirk Wheel
http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - The Falkirk Wheel sits between Edinburgh and Glasgow, in the southern parts of Scotland, and it's the world's only rotating boat lift. There's some very clever design going on here -- and some physics that goes all the way back to Ancient Greece.

The Falkirk Wheel #travel #scotland
The Falkirk Wheel is an innovative and unique rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. I had to speed this up to 6x per Tim's suggestion. Thanks, Tim.

Over the centuries the town has given its name to two local battles. The First Battle of Falkirk occurred in 1298 between the armies of William Wallace and Edward I of England. The Second Battle of Falkirk took place on 1746 and is significant as the penultimate battle of the period known as the Jacobite Risings.

The Helix Park is The Home of The Kelpies - the largest equine sculpture in the world. Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are an artificial wonder and a feat of engineering. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, & coal ships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk.

The Falkirk Wheel is an innovative and unique rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. I had to speed this up to 6x per Tim's suggestion. Thanks, Tim.
Thanks to Trevor and Kathleen for taking us to see the Falkirk Wheel. Tim, Shannon, Deirdre, and I really enjoyed the day in the Scottish countryside.

The town of Falkirk stands in an essential position at the heart of central Scotland between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling. This position has ensured its central role in Scottish history from the Roman period till today.
Over the centuries the town has given its name to two local battles. The First Battle of Falkirk occurred in 1298 between the armies of William Wallace and Edward I of England. The Second Battle of Falkirk took place on 1746 and is significant as the penultimate battle of the period known as the Jacobite Risings.
Falkirk is a beautiful town to visit, you can walk chunks of two canals, and explore its chill city centre atmosphere. Falkirk is the ideal place to visit with kids as its attractions have much to offer.

The Helix Park is The Home of The Kelpies - the largest equine sculpture in the world. Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are an artificial wonder and a feat of engineering. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, & coal ships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk.

The town lies at the junction of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, a location which proved key to the growth of Falkirk as a centre of heavy industry during the Industrial Revolution. In the 18th and 19th centuries Falkirk was at the centre of the iron and steel industry, underpinned by the Carron Company in the nearby village of Carron. The company was responsible for making carronades for the Royal Navy and also later many pillar boxes. In the last 50 years heavy industry has waned, and the economy of the town relies increasingly on retail and tourism. Despite this, Falkirk remains the home of many international companies like Alexander Dennis, the largest bus production company in the United Kingdom.
