Description
Old Falkirk by Guthrie Hutton showcases the town's early twentieth century charm through a collection of photographs. Images of trams, horse-drawn carriages, and the new bus station are complemented by shots of old closes and wynds, as well as landmarks like the Regal cinema and Bainsford Bridge. The book also features pictures of Grahamston station, the Carron Ironworks, Mungal Foundry, and Camelon. A notable section highlights the town's giant ice-rink, which is now a relic of the past. The BBC's Westerglen radio transmitter facilities are also documented in the photographs. A fascinating aspect of Old Falkirk is its connection to the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals, which were reopened in 2002 and now feature the iconic Falkirk Wheel, an incredible rotating boat lift.
