Falkirk (An Eaglais Bhreac in Scottish Gaelic) is a town in central Scotland.
The Falkirk Area occupies a central position in Scotland, on the key north-south and east-west motorway and rail routes and within easy reach of Edinburgh and Glasgow airports; Falkirk is well situated both for access from England and for access to other parts of Scotland.

As part of an investigation into safety at major oil installations in Scotland, a Sunday Herald reporter and photo grapher were able to walk up to large cylinders marked “explosive gases” and “flammable material” and to travel on foot around supposedly private and secure areas of the oil refinery.
Gordon McQuaid, secretary of the Central Scotland Fire Brigades Union (FBU) and an operational firefighter for the Grangemouth area, said it was “frightening” that reporters had achieved access to the plant and that blueprints of Grangemouth were available from the Land Registry.
A spokesman for Grangemouth said: “We constantly monitor security procedures and the site is patrolled by security.” He added that he could not comment further as he did not know exactly where on the site the Sunday Herald team had been.
