Falkirk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. |
| | In the 18th century the area served as the cradle of Scotland's industrial revolution, becoming the earliest major centre of the iron-casting industry: to this day, cast-iron cooking pots are known in Zimbabwe as "falkirks". |
