Old photograph of a horse and cart, people and cottage on Kirk Brae Polmont located near Falkirk, Scotland. This Scottish village is North of the Union Canal, which runs adjacent to the village. Old Polmont, situated on a raised beach overlooking the Firth of Forth and the Ochils, which was an important fort on the Roman Antonine Wall. This fort, embankment and water source has been marked out and can be visited in Polmont Woods, close to the M9 motorway. During World War II, the now demolished St Margaret's School for girls was used by the Polish forces as a signals training school and soldiers from various Polish units were assigned to learn the trade of signalling. A Brae means a steep bank or hillside in Scots.
