About

Falkirk North ward lies in the northern part of the town, encompassing residential suburbs such as Hallglen and Bantaskin. The area is largely residential, with housing ranging from post-war estates to more modern developments. It contains several local primary schools and community facilities catering to the neighbourhoods. The land rises towards the south, offering views across the Forth Valley from some points.

A significant feature is the Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. This modern engineering landmark sits within the ward's boundaries, contrasting with the surrounding green spaces and residential streets. The area includes sections of the canal network, providing routes for walking and cycling.
