The #Archive30 tag of today is #ArchiveGoals, which we are interpreting a little different this time: this photograph from 1919 is of the Stirlingshire Constabulary Football Club which scored the winning goal in that year's Scottish Police Challenge Cup!

Drawing inspiration from @DundeeArchives, we would like to take you on a "choose your own adventure" type tour of Falkirk! We will start at the Falkirk Steeple, and keep going until... who knows! So let's go:

The Cow Wynd is also home to the Tattie Kirk - Established in 1747 as a split from the Falkirk Associate Church by members of the Anti-Burgher movement. Behind the manse is a small burial ground, the earliest grave from 1806.
