In Falkirk on my birthday

 I went to my eldest’s for lunch in Falkirk today, Wednesday . I like going there because l lived for a year in Falkirk and the place holds happy memories for me. So a few photos of murals, plaques and buildings not to mention some purchases.

An interesting book and a couple of toy soldiers from the collectors shop, couldn’t leave them in the shop window could l?

Above and below murals pertaining to the battle. I believe the faces of local folk were painted into the scene.

Interesting plaque pertaining to the Jacobite battle…

Linlithgow, which I passed through on the bus from Falkirk to Edinburgh. The bus drove past 

 many of my old haunts, some  changed almost beyond recognition. The village l lived in has an incredible amount of houses, schools , shops etc being built in it!
