Bonnybridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Bhunaich; Scots: Bonniebrig) is a village in the Falkirk council area of Scotland.
The village is situated near the Bonny Water which runs through the town and lies north of the Forth and Clyde Canal.
[2] However, the Bonnybridge settlement area, which includes Banknock, Denny, Dunipace and Haggs has a total population of around 24,370.
Particularly important for Bonnybridge was the establishment of several iron foundries including the famous Smith and Wellstood Foundry, which was important in introducing the American metal heating stoves to Europe under the 'Esse stoves' brand.
[citation needed] The output from these foundries was transported via the Forth & Clyde Canal to local markets, and also to Glasgow for export.
