Rescue excavation at Falkirk campsite?

THE former Scottish campsite of Edward I and his English Army is set to be the site of a major archeological excavation.

King Edward's soldiers stayed at Kirkliston on the eve of the Battle of Falkirk, where they crushed the Scottish rebellion of William Wallace

The site, which was later home to the famous Kirkliston Distillery, is now the subject of plans to build more than 100 houses.

Owner Scotmalt wants to transform the historic buildings into a modern development, complete with a village green.
