A local government area extending to 293 sq. km (113 sq. miles), Falkirk lies midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, in the Central Lowlands and at the heart of Scotland's air, road and rail communications networks. In addition to traditional industries such as coach-building, iron-founding, paper-making and sawmilling, Falkirk has developed a number of hi-tech business parks and industrial estates, and at Grangemouth on the River Forth is Scotland's leading petrochemical complex and container port.
