About Denny

Denny is a town of around 8,000 people on the north side of the Falkirk council area, sitting on the River Carron with the Carron Valley reservoir and the Campsie Fells to the north-west.

The town grew through the paper-making and iron industries in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its compact centre still retains a recognisable village-scale character.

Denny has seen significant residential development in recent years, attracting families and commuters drawn by relatively affordable housing and good road links to Stirling and the central belt motorway network.

Herbertshire Castle Park, on the edge of town, provides green space and sports facilities, and the surrounding countryside offers easy access to walking and cycling routes.

About Falkirk

Falkirk is a council area in the heart of Scotland's central belt, sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow with the Firth of Forth to the north and the foothills of the Campsie Fells to the west.

The town of Falkirk is the administrative centre and largest settlement, but the area also takes in Grangemouth — Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and one of its busiest ports — along with the historic burgh of Bo'ness on the Forth shoreline and a string of smaller towns and villages.

Falkirk's history runs deep: two of the most significant battles in the Wars of Independence were fought here, and the Antonine Wall — the Roman Empire's north-western frontier — crosses the district and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The area has reinvented itself around modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies, two 30-metre steel horse-head sculptures at the Helix park, draw visitors from around the world.

Transport links are excellent — the M9 and M876 connect Falkirk to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, and two railway lines serve the area — making it one of the most accessible and affordable parts of the central belt.
