Larbert is a small town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The town is located in the Forth Valley over the River Carron which passes from the west. It is located around 3 miles (4.8 km) from the coastline of the Firth of Forth and 2.5 miles (4.0 kilometres) northwest of Falkirk, the main town in the region. The village of Stenhousemuir lies directly east of Larbert, with both settlements being adjoining and sharing certain public facilities with each other. In middle ages times, the Larbert region was greatly forested, however this was cleared and gave rise to much of the farming land which encompasses the town. The progression of industry and particularly the arrival in the 1840s of the Scottish Central Railway, which goes through the village, provided a base for economic growth. From the late 18th century up until the middle of the 20th century, heavy industry, such as boiler making, casting and production underpinned the economy of Larbert. The Victorian era also saw the opening of the Stirling District Lunatic Asylum at Bellsdyke and Scottish National Institution for Children on the Stenhouse Estate. This made Larbert pivotal in offering care, both regionally and country wide. Despite the fact that the historic financial base of Larbert disappeared with the decrease of heavy industry, it has recently experienced much development as a commuter town. A large number of residents are employed in the close-by towns of Falkirk and Stirling, as well as the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The 2011 Census demonstrates that the population of Larbert has grown to 9143 from the 2001 Census record of 6425, and it continues to increase with large-scale housing development on the northern periphery of the town along with on brownfield sites.
