-Falkirk, the Gravedigger-
"Gravedigger" is common slang in the Riverlands, used for those who dig tunnels beneath haunted regions for safe passage; Falkirk has survived more trips than most.

One of the many perks of being part of the @bookpenpals scheme is the post I get from my partner schools. This month pupils at @ComelyParkPS sent me stunning postcards they'd drawn of their home town of Falkirk, complete with book recommendations. Aren't they FANTASTIC?
The Falkirk Wheel is an extraordinary piece of engineering, built with strong commitment to ecological values. To link the waterways it raises and lowers whole sections of the canal by 79 feet, water, boats and all. #ecology #ecofriendly https://t.co/f3NSXa8p3l
