Grangemouth is an industrial town on the Firth of Forth in Falkirk, Scotland, notable for one of the country’s largest ports and a major petrochemical complex that links shipping, refining and logistics with Scotland’s central belt via the Forth and Clyde Canal and the River Carron.
It grew up in the 19th century around the canal and docks; the refinery and associated industries still shape the local economy and identity, while a resilient working‑class community supports local leisure at venues such as Grangemouth Stadium and benefits from nearby visitor attractions like the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies.
