Old Photographs Grangemouth Scotland

Old photograph of Grangemouth, South of Stirling, Scotland. Grangemouth's original growth as a town relied mainly on its geographical location. Originally a bustling port, trade flowed through the town with the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal in the 18th century. Nowadays, the economy of Grangemouth is focused primarily on the large petrochemical industry of the area which includes an oil refinery, one of the largest of its kind in Europe. The town is twinned with La Porte, Indiana, USA. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
