	History of Falkirk
		Then too, the ridge of Falkirk was on the direct route between Edinburgh, Linlithgow, Stirling and the North, and it would be early seen that it was advantageous to have a settlement which was not more than a day's journey between those other ancient places of habitation, Linlithgow and Stirling.
		Falkirk again comes clearly into the light of History in the year 1080, when Robert, son of William the Conqueror, has his army turned back at Egglesbreth, the Welsh name by which the settlement on the ridge of land above the carse was then known.
		From the middle of the 17th century to 1859, the affairs of the burgh of Falkirk were managed by the Stentmasters, a body elected by the trades of the town and latterly also by districts of Falkirk.

	THE THIRD STATISTICAL ACCOUNT - FALKIRK, STIRLINGSHIRE
		Falkirk is the largest burgh in the county of Stirling, and has been so since 1891, when it first outstripped Stirling; and, in point of population, it now ranks sixteenth in all Scotland.
		Pedestrians in Falkirk, local and visiting, accept the fact that High Street pavements are narrow and meet the difficulty by walking unconcernedly in the street, to the visible alarm and bewilderment of motorists passing through the town, who have not elsewhere encountered this phenomenon.
		Falkirk's position as regards the exclusive use of these conveniences, collectively or individually, was weaker than that of the whole county or of the other burghs; but the households entirely without piped water, kitchen sink or water closet were relatively more numerous in the county than in its largest burgh.

	Falkirk FC - FALKIRK 1 DUNFERMLINE ATHLETIC 2
		Falkirk's recent run of poor form meant the visit of Dunfermline Athletic was in the "must win" category.
		Latapy's effort was headed behind for another flag kick but this time the Falkirk No.10 played it short to McPherson who cleverly teed up Thomson on the "D", however the midfielder completely missed his kick to let the Fife defence off the hook.
		Falkirk replied with a wonderful Duffy run which saw him leave Wilson for dead on the left but there was a noticeable lack of home attackers in the box and with the late-arriving Latapy struggling to control the square pass before shooting, McGregor saved comfortably.

		But for Falkirk being refused entry on the stadium criteria, Motherwell would have slipped into the First Division three summers ago, but Terry and Maurice certainly made the most of the escape.
		Jack Ross, the Falkirk match-winner, claims his team are still not safe from relegation after having recorded their first home Bank of Scotland Premierleague win of the season against Dundee United.The result moves Falkirk above Dunfermline into 10th in the table, and maintains the 10-point gap to Livingston in bottom spot.
		However, Ross is taking nothing for granted, and said: "If Livingston had lost, then we might have said we were there, but when you hear that result, you realise how massive it was for us to win again."This is the thing about the split, it does keep the interest going.
