	History of Falkirk
		The records left by the Romans make no mention of a town at Falkirk, but it is probable that there was a settlement there which may have been abandoned at the time of the invasion by the withdrawal of the native Caledonians to the shaggy woodland fastness to the north.
		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.
		They also had the duty of appointing a billeting master and a town drummer, and were responsible for the management of the general policy of the town and also for the laying of assessments on the corporations and inhabitants according to the apparent ability of the persons assessed to pay them.

		The town is situated on the main railway line between the country’s two major cities, from which it is roughly equidistant.

	Battle of Falkirk & Execution of Wallace, Pt.2
		The Guardianship of Scotland was now taken from Wallace, or resigned by him, and in his place the Scots accepted an uneasy triumvirate of Bishop William Lamberton of St. Andrews, young Robert Bruce of Carrick, and John Comyn the Red, now Lord of Badenoch since the death of his father in England.
		It is mystifying and strange that Wallace gathered no army in these seven years since Falkirk, and this may suggest that Falkirk had had a traumatic effect on his self confidence, as evidenced by the chroniclers remark that Wallace had "gone nto a deep depression", after Falkirk and giving up the Guardianship.
		Wallace was followed by and relied upon 'the common folk' of Scotland, a fact which was both his greatest strength, and in the end his biggest weakness.
