Avon Aqueduct This photo shows seven of the twelve arches of the Avon Aqueduct, which carries the Union Canal across the River Avon. At 247 metres long and 25.9 metres high, it is the longest and highest aqueduct in Scotland and the second longest in the UK. It was built between 1819 and 1822 by Hugh Baird (1770-1827), to a design by Thomas Telford (1757-1834) and, unusually, has a towpath on each side.

Torwood Castle ruin April 2007 Built in 1566 for Sir Alexander Forrester. The ruin was acquired in 1957 by Mr Gordon Millar. He spent the last forty years of his life working on his own to restore the stonework. In November 2002, Torwood Castle estate was given over to Torwood Castle Trust (a registered charity). Torwood Castle is a category A listed building.

Falkirk: The Steeple The Steeple stands alongside the Market Place on the High Street and is the third to occupy the site. The first was a 16th or 7th century structure which was demolished in 1697 having become unsafe. The second suffered from serious subsidence after its foundations became damaged it was demmolished in 1803.
The current structure cost £1,460 to erect in 1814. It was designed by David Hamilton and built by Hanry Taylor using sandstone from the quarry at nearby Brightons.
It is 140 feet high and, at ground level, is 22 feet square, and has not been without further difficulties: The upper 40 feet of the tower were replaced after being struck by lightning in June 1927. A horse belonging to Barr & Co., aerated water manufacturers, was killed by the falling masonry and its driver injured.
The town jail was once housed within The Steeple, and two cells on the upper floors, accessed by a narrow spiral staircase, survive.
