In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Banknock like this:
Banknock, a collier hamlet in Denny parish, Stirlingshire, 2¼ miles SW of Denny town. Three seams of coal here yield large output both for consumption in the neighbourhood and for exportation. At Banknock House, the seat of Wm. Wilson, Esq., Rosa Bonheur was a guest in 1856.
Banknock is now part of FALKIRK Council. Click here for graphs and data of how FALKIRK has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Banknock itself, go to Statistics.
