	Falkirk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Falkirk (An Eaglais Bhreac in Scottish Gaelic) is a town in Scotland, in the district of Falkirk.
		The Battle of Falkirk (1298) fought on July 22, saw the defeat of William Wallace by King Edward I and saw the occupation of Scotland by the English until Robert the Bruce's victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 restored independence.
		The second Battle of Falkirk took place in 17th January, 1746 as the Jacobites, under Bonnie Prince Charlie, laid siege to Stirling Castle, General Henry Hawley left Newcastle with eight thousand troops to aid the trapped government troops inside.

	History of Falkirk
		Traces of the occupation of the district by these early settlers are still occasionally dug up, but the recorded history of the Falkirk district cannot be said to begin until the year A.D. 82, when the Roman general Agricola launched his invasion of Caledonia.
		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.
