Iglesia de St. Modans

Here, you can find the old church of Falkirk (Falkirk Auld Kirk / Old Church) and the Church of St. Modans (Calvinist / Church of Scotland). There are also the remains of the historic cemetery. Historically, there is evidence that this was a place of worship in the seventh century which subsequently led to the Catholic Church formation. In 1298, the Battle of Falkirk took place, where William Wallace lost the battle against the English, including Sir Lawrence Dundas and Sir John Stewart, two of the fallen in battle. The present church was built in 1450 and an octagonal bell tower was added in 1733.
