Background
History
In 1983 a temporary Roman marching camp was found from aerial photographs just outside the town, north of the Carron. A stone bridge was built between Dunipace and Denny in the 1820s. In 1876 Dunipace was joined with Denny to form the Denny and Dunipace Burgh. This was abolished in 1975 when both areas became part of Falkirk District. A legend exists that the famous Scottish patriot William Wallace, lived in Dunipace with his uncle, who was a clergyman at the parish church. Edward the First, King of England, (known as Longshanks), stayed in Dunipace for three weeks in September and October 1301.
