Bainsford

Bainsford is a village located in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. It lies approximately 2 miles east of Falkirk town centre. Historically, Bainsford was part of the parish of Falkirk in the county of Stirlingshire.

The village grew significantly during the Industrial Revolution, primarily due to the iron founding industry. The Carron Iron Works, a major industrial enterprise in the area, had a considerable impact on Bainsford's development and population growth. The Forth and Clyde Canal, which passes through Bainsford, also played a crucial role in the village's industrial history, facilitating the transport of raw materials and finished goods.

Today, Bainsford is largely a residential area. While the iron founding industry has declined, Bainsford maintains a distinct identity and is within easy reach of the larger Falkirk conurbation, benefiting from access to various amenities and services. The village is served by local bus routes and is situated near major road networks.
