As we wind up Falkirk THI, extra thanks go to @HLFScotland and @HistEnvScot for being our primary funders. Look out for these plaques which have been installed throughout the town on some of our projects. This one is at 6-8 Cow Wynd.
@jae_sallstrom permission to install these plaques has been agreed in writing with Falkirk Council Development Management.
