Larbert
Larbert is a town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The town is located in the Forth Valley above the River Carron which passes from the west. It lies approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from the shoreline of the Firth of Forth and 2.5 miles (4.0 kilometres) northwest of Falkirk, the main town in the area. The village of Stenhousemuir lies directly east of Larbert, with both settlements being adjoining and sharing a number of public amenities with each other.
In middle ages times, the Larbert region was densely forested, however this was cleared and generated much of the agricultural land which encircles the town. The growth of industry and particularly the arrival in the 1840s of the Scottish Central Railway, which passes through the village, provided a base for economic growth. From the late 18th century up until the middle of the 20th century, heavy industry, such as boiler making, casting and production underpinned the economy of Larbert. The Victorian era also saw the opening of the Stirling District Lunatic Asylum at Bellsdyke and Scottish National Institution for Children on the Stenhouse Estate. This made Larbert pivotal in offering care, both locally and country wide. Even though the original financial base of Larbert disappeared with the downturn of heavy industry, it has recently experienced much growth as a commuter town. A large number of citizens operate in the close-by towns of Falkirk and Stirling, as well as the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The 2011 Census demonstrates that the population of Larbert has grown to 9143 from the 2001 Census record of 6425, and it continues to expand with massive housing development on the northern periphery of the town in addition to on brownfield sites. For all of your home developments, be sure to find respected professionals in Larbert to make certain of quality.
