Old travel Blog photograph of a mansion house in Torwood, a small village two miles North West of Larbert, which is located two and half miles from Falkirk, Scotland. The Torwood was a large forested area in the 12th Century stretching from the River Carron west and north towards Stirling, and inland towards the Campsie Hills. It was traversed by an old Roman Road at this time. In preparation for the battle of Bannockburn it was used as the encampment for the men of James Douglas, one of the leaders of the army of King Robert the Bruce. The Forresters used to own the lands of Torwood.
