	History of Falkirk
		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.
		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.

	Battle of Falkirk & Execution of Wallace, Pt.2
		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.
		This entire history is told in a sequel to "Falkirk and Wallace's execution", in a ten chapter in-depth hagiology of Robert Bruce, an excerpt of which, "The Bruce, Bannockburn and Beyond", can be found on this web site, detailing the Battle of Bannockburn.

		It echoes the stretches of Union canal between Linlithgow and Falkirk as it meanders a little, running through farmland and partially screened by ribbons of woodland.
		The alternative along the canal towpath almost as far as Kilsyth is shown on the route diagram above but the choice of route might be forced on you, as the canal underbridge beneath the M80 just before Castle Cary is prone to flooding and may be impassable.
		We're approaching the former terminus of the Union canal.
