Favourite watering hole: Behind the Wall – with two children we don’t go out so much now but it was always the old favourite!
Favourite place for eating and why: Gulnar Indian Restaurant in Larbert has excellent food and had been run by the same family for 30 years.
An interesting fact about the area: Falkirk is home to the world's only rotating boat lift – the Falkirk Wheel. It connects the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal.
What I love the most: Falkirk is right in the middle between Glasgow and Edinburgh, so with the excellent rail and road links it is easy to access both cities quickly.
Favourite local business: Marshall’s family bakery which opened shop on Manor Street last year. It’s a family run business selling amazing cakes and bread – delicious!
Best kept secret: It's home to Barr's Irn Bru!
