Thanks so much for this video. My dsd was born in Bo'ness and lived there from 42 to the early 60s when he came down to Liverpool for work. He met my mum and married, his brother done the same and both had many happy years in Liverpool. When we where small we (meaning me and my cousins loved coming to Falkirk for holidays. We still do tho spend time with family. Thank you again for this video I have been taken back in time knowing that my dad and family walked ther. I feel so much closer to my dad.

Them pictures brought back memories from 70s through 80s growing on and off from Falkirk, my mum and granny used to take us Moscadini's for the fish supper washed down with my childhood favourite ice cream float ( iron bru + ice cream). Pity its all charity shops now, they closed bus station. Thanks for trip down memory lane.

[@charliemac5154]

I too have travelled, 20 years in SE Asia and East Africa….. but always said I was from ‘near Edinburgh’ would never own up to have grown up where the town motto says ‘pick a fight with one of us and we’ll all lick the crap out of you…’ (modern translation)

[@chucklessavini1778]

​@@charliemac5154For somebody that hates Falkirk you certainly seem to keep cropping up on these videos insulting the place. Funny, that.

[@fromsourcemamabarescotland]

Aw this brought a tear to my eye the good old days

[@PaulineXCX]

I remember going there on a sat with my mum and auntie sometimes shopping before we moved to South Africa in 1982

[@fiizzy3884]

I remmber it too, we moved to SA in 1975. Where did you go to live? We were in Newcastle for a while, then Durban.

[@JimBob-ib5sd]

I still remember Moscardinis. Huge menu all I wanted was a large chips and an Irn Bru. Sauce to die for.

[@goodluck-mx4qr]

Moscadini's used to put water in the IRN BRU, ordered 2 glasses for the kids whilst waiting on the meal coming, it looked flat and I had a sip of it, water and Irn bru.

[@michaelobrien9825]

WELL AT LEAST THE WELLINGTON (WELLY) BAR AND MOSCARDINIS UNDER DIFFERENT OWNERS IS STILL THEIR.

[@Evanmonster1]

Hiya! I'm not from Falkirk or even Scotland for that matter. But my friend Ralph, is from Falkirk and he's a bit older than me. I'm going to tell him about this video and ask him about the Sleeves record store and see if he did shopping there when he was younger. Good video, cheers!

[@garrymcfadden4105]

Any luck with Ralph? Does he remember sleeves?

[@Evanmonster1]

@@garrymcfadden4105 Ha ha! I have not asked him yet. Thank you for reminding me though. I'll either give him a ring, or I'll see him at the highland games, where he sells kilts and kilt accessories, there. Will be interesting to see his reaction, if he knows the place :D

[@garrymcfadden4105]

[@williamweir322]

Loved getting the Falkirk bus from Bathgate in the late 60’s to the early 70’s

[@williamf4544]

I lived in Blackburn as a wee boy in the early 60s and my Grannie used to come up in the Shotts bus to Bathgate - then at night we wpuld see he back on the bus again - When i would go with my mum to Bo"ness sometimes as a treat we would get the Falkirk bus and we would get a fish tea in Mosccadinis

[@jose90692]

[@jocky2]

Brilliant comentary, really great. I had forgotten just how much was there. I think the York Cafe deserves a mention, ma mam worked there for years.

actually the commentary is utter guf...

[@regellis1234]

Good stuff.... I remember all of it. When I went to the Park Street trade school we used to go to the Manor Cafe for Pie suppers... can't think why my Wranglers don't fit me now! In these days it was Sta_Press!!

[@Truthteller886]

Shame..full of charity’ shops and junkies noo….

[@carpetmagic]

Great Vid. Thanks

[@grahamerskine7445]

Superb Dougie hope doing alright mate

[@GoodGuyChucky-666]

So true, we have only of ourselves to blame for Falkirk high street not being what it used to be because of online shopping, but i suppose we are the part of the problem and have no right to moan for the state it is in today , it is what it is

[@alansbinnie1446]

Bring back The Circular.

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

I have lived here since 03, love it myself although I can see the centre is not what it was even in my time. The retail park has a lot do with that also btw.

[@hastiebar]

Hallglen boy myself moved away 82. Best thing i ever did. Go back to visit family Fakirk is still a shit hole .
