      I too have travelled, 20 years in SE Asia and East Africa….. but always said I was from ‘near Edinburgh’ would never own up to have grown up where the town motto says ‘pick a fight with one of us and we’ll all lick the crap out of you…’ (modern translation)

    Them pictures brought back memories from 70s through 80s growing on and off from Falkirk, my mum and granny used to take us Moscadini's for the fish supper washed down with my childhood favourite ice cream float ( iron bru + ice cream). Pity its all charity shops now, they closed bus station. Thanks for trip down memory lane.

    Hiya! I'm not from Falkirk or even Scotland for that matter. But my friend Ralph, is from Falkirk and he's a bit older than me. I'm going to tell him about this video and ask him about the Sleeves record store and see if he did shopping there when he was younger. Good video, cheers!

    Thanks so much for this video. My dsd was born in Bo'ness and lived there from 42 to the early 60s when he came down to Liverpool for work. He met my mum and married, his brother done the same and both had many happy years in Liverpool. When we where small we (meaning me and my cousins loved coming to Falkirk for holidays. We still do tho spend time with family. Thank you again for this video I have been taken back in time knowing that my dad and family walked ther. I feel so much closer to my dad.
