About

Grangemouth ward encompasses the industrial port town of Grangemouth itself, situated where the River Carron meets the Firth of Forth. The area is defined by its major industrial infrastructure, including one of the UK's principal container terminals and a large petrochemical complex. This establishes the ward as a crucial economic hub for freight and manufacturing, with a landscape shaped by these large-scale operations.

The settlement is a distinct community with residential areas, local shops, and services directly supporting the workforce. The town's history is closely linked to the development of the canal and dock systems. The unique sight of vast moored tankers and cargo ships against a backdrop of industrial structures is a constant feature of the waterfront, underscoring the ward's functional identity.
