In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Bridgeness like this:
Bridgeness, a village in Carriden parish, Linlithgowshire, on the coast, 1 mile E of Borrowstounness. During the erection of iron-smelting furnaces here in April 1868 a very fine Roman sculptured slab was discovered, fixing the eastern termination of Antoninus' Wall.
Bridgeness is now part of FALKIRK Council. Click here for graphs and data of how FALKIRK has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bridgeness itself, go to Statistics.
