Larbert

Larbert is a small town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The town sits in the Forth Valley above the River Carron which passes from the west. It lies roughly 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from the coastline of the Firth of Forth and 2.5 miles (4.0 kilometres) northwest of Falkirk, the main town in the region. The village of Stenhousemuir lies directly east of Larbert, with both settlements being contiguous and sharing certain public facilities with each other.

In medieval times, the Larbert area was greatly forested, however this was cleared and induced much of the farming land which surrounds the town. The growth of industry and specifically the arrival in the 1840s of the Scottish Central Railway, which goes through the village, gave a base for economic development. From the late 18th century 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 central in providing care, both locally and across the country. Despite the fact that the original financial base of Larbert disappeared with the decrease of heavy industry, it has recently experienced much development as a commuter town. A large number of residents are employed in the neighboring towns of Falkirk and Stirling, in addition to the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The 2011 Census shows that the population of Larbert has actually grown to 9143 from the 2001 Census record of 6425, and it continues to increase with massive housing development on the northern periphery of the town as well as on brownfield sites.
