Kings Court
Kings Court is the best preserved example of the many courts, wynds and closes which once distinguished Falkirk High Street. This area takes it's name from the Kings Arms which stood here in the 19th century and it was here that James Aitken began practice as a solicitor in the late 1700s. For over 200 years his successors have carried on the business in Kings Court as Russel & Aitken.
Elsewhere on the south side of the High Street were Burns Court, Wilsons Close, Swords Wynd, Buchanan Court, Roberts Wynd, Dundee Court and Baxters Wynd, many of which disappeared or were greatly changed in the 1960s.
