The village was built up around the sandstone quarry which was in operation from as early as the 17th Century. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal was built to the south of the village in 1822. Later stone was carried by the canal to help build Edinburgh’s new town in the 1830s and Falkirk’s public buildings.

Brightons has places to explore by foot, bike or bus. Below are a selection of the varied Brightons’s destinations you can visit with additional content available at the Walkfo Brightons’s information audio spots:

Mumrills Mumrills was the site of the largest Roman fort on the Antonine Wall in Scotland. It is possible that the fort could exchange signals with Flavian Gask Ridge forts. Some believe it may have been part of Wallace’s defeat at the Battle of Falkirk.

Grandsable Cemetery Grandsable Cemetery lies on a small hill with views over the Firth of Forth. Unlike other cemeteries in the wider area it has almost no vandalism, probably due to its distance from any main town.

Callendar House Callendar House is set within the grounds of Callendar Park in Falkirk, central Scotland. During the 19th century, it was redesigned and extended in the style of a French Renaissance château fused with elements of Scottish baronial architecture. The core of the building is a 14th-century tower house, with a 300 ft frontage.
