Falkirk was a great place back in the 80s - no doubt it still is the Falkirk folk are awesome - Fishers the bakers coffee meranges - nothing will ever beat them
Brought back so many memories. Lived all my life in Falkirk district. The photo of Falkirk High School - I attended there from 1967-72 and these porto cabins were not in place at that location then. That tarmac area was used for playing football with a tennis ball every play time.
Went drinking there when I was just starting. Lived just down the road in Stenhousemuir .Fun but crazy times , Scottish parents , but I had an English accent , bit of a suicide mission but I survived .
one of the most social towns in the uk i born 1945 remember my parents taking me to the roxy theatre to watch the piano player creating a world record it was a pleasure to be a member of that community we lived 5 miles from the town centre but the town centre was the hub for social gatherings great spirited folk the falkirk bairns we would recognise it now sadly
Absolutely brilliant posting I remember a lot of this well and I much prefer the old Falkirk in its day I also remember the big guy with the huge mustache these were the days
Me too! The tune defo brings a tear to my eye. Probably because..sadly.. it's very apt. Falkirk is not the town it once was. It has changed alot over the past 15/20 years or so, and not for the better. Quite sad seeing all the pics of things that were great about the town that are no longer there or have changed since. Falkirk has had the heart and soul ripped out from it.
Hi there i have a Facebook page called, Old Falkirk In Pictures, i'am interested in seeing if you would like to share the photos that are in the video that i dont already have on the page for others to see. Full credit for the photos will be given to yourself. Ialso have to say this video is really great good work love it and few things i didnt know i have seen in the video so thanks for that someone posted onto the page so others could see this so its going to be well view in next 24hrs.
The rot set in with the destruction of the old town hall in the 1960’s. If the council and architects had shown more sympathy for historic Falkirk and more imagination in how to incorporate it. The place would not be the ghost town it is today. You must educate the population to appreciate what they have or its easily lost.
Brilliant video, from Tony's Mrs in Moscardini's, to Bible John RIP, him and his old mate outside the Tiger always getting lifted, The Tiger, biker days when I had a brand new Honda CBX750, Mima the owner came to my 18th in the Oxgang FFS!!

@@puddylump41 Yes, having a shitty retail park 5 mins from the high st not helping
Was enjoying that vid untill i seen the Orange march..Why put that up???..
By the look of the guy in the vest at 3.35 mins I think youve got it completely wrong mate,I think it's a gay pride march.COYB.
because they're from falkirk!
The scourge of Scotland.
Omg what difference does it make - are you that bitter
I remember far too many of these views - makes me feel old!
Great video and a great song.
Great video i remember the out door Callendar sq and the cars and buses going up the high st when i was a kid

Love looking at old photos of Falkirk. Spoiled by the daffties parading though.

The old booths at Moscardinis ahh memories,I can mind when you had to spend a penny to go to the toilets in there.COYB.
Fantastic
When falkirk was lovely and white. Its not our falkirk anymore and it kills me

I am wondering what info you have of the pic of 4 women around 2min17secs into the vid? Think one of the women was a relation.
Reminds me of a pic i have of my mum and her workmates outside Dun and Wilsons Falkirk in the 50s - kinda made me think too
Proud to be fawkirk bairn
Some of these are not Fakirk but the Falkirk District. Big difference.
Nit picky
Ghost Town would have been a better choice of song.....
The tiger was the best booser
was enjoying this vid until the bit was the orange parade. Thats not what falkirk is about. That's first class scummery. Tick tick boom
am a Falkirk Bairn and proud..really enjoyed the vid but i agree there was no need for the orange march,..respect from a bairn in exile
Denise Thacker That's because you are clearly an intolerant bigot.
Good video 👍🏻
As it says old Falkirk, its in the past
@@HAZYFALKIRK And in the past, It must remain...
