Falkirk, Council area between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland
Located in east-central Scotland, Falkirk extends across 297 square kilometers of low-lying terrain from the southern bank of the River Forth estuary.
The region evolved from its traditional agricultural roots to become an industrial center with Grangemouth port and extensive petrochemical facilities.
The Falkirk area maintains strong connections to Scotland's canal network, linking Glasgow to Edinburgh through waterways that shaped local development.
The population of 158,620 residents benefits from direct transportation links to major Scottish cities and extensive industrial employment opportunities.
The Falkirk Wheel, constructed in 2002, functions as a rotating boat lift that connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal.
