Falkirk Steeple, Category A listed clock tower in High Street, Falkirk, Scotland.

The Falkirk Steeple reaches a height of 140 feet with four distinct stages constructed using ashlar stone and features Greek Doric angle columns.

The current Falkirk Steeple, completed in 1814, replaced two previous structures from the 1580s and 1697, marking the architectural evolution of the town center.

The tower houses two bells, including one from the previous structure and another cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, installed in 1816.

The ground floor of Falkirk Steeple contains a heritage center managed by the Falkirk Local History Society, offering information about local history.

In 1927, lightning struck the spire causing significant damage, resulting in falling masonry that injured a horse and cart in the street below.
