Everyday Histories Project background

We're putting together special exhibitions in libraries throughout May for local history month and we'd love you to be involved.

If you have photos taken from around the Falkirk Council area that shows changes to the urban landscape, local streets and every day lives we'd love to see them.

Some examples of the kinds of photos we're looking for:

• Bo'ness Fair from the 80s

• The lido at Stenhousemuir before the library was built

• Trams in Falkirk or the high street from decades past

• Falkirk football stadium when it was still at Brockville

• Denny high street before the town centre regeneration

If your photos have close up photos of people, please make sure you have their permission before sending in. 

How do I get involved?.

We need your photos no later than Saturday 18th April 2026 (or Sunday 19th April if you're submitting online). Please read the guidance about which photos can be used.
