Mt home town
Falkirk, the heart of Scotland.
The Steeple, it was struck by lightning in 1928, the spire was completely demolished. It's a popular gathering point for new year revellers on hogmanay, the tradition is you smash your new years bottle against it for good luck, er, after it's been drunk
The High Street, you can still see the cobble stones, the trams used to run along here many years ago, they had to close this street to traffic as it's so narrow.
High street again, on one sunday every month the local farmers put up stands to sell their local produce.
The town from higher up. That's the Ochil hills in the background, I see them from my house, they're beautiful in the early dawn as the sun rises.
