July 2024 -- Due to Covid, I unexpectedly spent several days in Falkirk. Falkirk is a town in the central lowlands of Scotland, between Edinburgh and Glasgow at the junction of the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals. After a few days of being sick, I began exploring the area. I was lucky because there was a lot to see and do in and around Falkirk.
