Banknock (Scottish Gaelic: Baile nan Cnoc) is a village within the Falkirk council area in Central Scotland.

Cannerton Pit was one of these mines and its spoil heap, locally called 'the Bing',[citation needed] was a local landmark Before the railway was built, the Banknock mines were linked to the Forth & Clyde Canal by a wagonway which is still traceable today.

[citation needed] The Glenskirlie House Hotel has recently added a fake castle turret, and it has become a popular venue for weddings.

[3] The part of the village where the Kilsyth Road crosses the Bush Burn was named Hollandbush, and it was the centre of the village with a post office, Co-operative shops and a licensed grocers shop registered as Andrew Brown & Son.

Banknock was particularly busy on Sundays due to the strict post-war licensing laws, which dictated that only bona fide travellers may imbibe liquor on Sundays, and Kilsyth people would travel outwith their own environs in order to qualify.
