Airth (Scottish Gaelic: An Àird) is a Royal Burgh, village, former trading port and civil parish in Falkirk, Scotland.

[4] The dock was used during the years 1507–1513 in the reign of James IV to build ships of war at the pool of Airth.

Strong timbers would be used to form the “stocks” for the vessel and a clay dam would prevent the river from penetrating the working area.

When the ship was ready, the dam would be breached, at high tide, to enable it to float out into the river.

A number of smaller vessels from the village were burned by loyalist troops and that proved damaging to Airth's subsequent development as a port.
