The Falkirk Steeple has been a landmark in Falkirk since the late 15th century. There have been three - the present one dates from 1814 - built to be the town's tolbooth and temporary gaol. The current steeple lost its top in 1927, when it was struck by lightning, but it was immediately rebuilt.

The steeple appears on the crest of Falkirk F.C.
