Stenhousemuir (/ˌstɛnaʊsˈmjʊər/; Scottish Gaelic: Featha Thaigh nan Clach) is a town in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies within the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The town is 2 miles (3 kilometres) north-northwest of Falkirk and directly adjoins to Larbert in the west, where the nearest rail access is located. The villages of Carron and Carronshore adjoin Stenhousemuir to the east but to a lesser extent. Historically, Stenhousemuir lies with the historic county of Stirlingshire. At the 2001 census it showed that it had a resident population of 10,351[2] but according to a 2009 estimate this was revised to around 10,190 residents.[3] The combined population of the four localities in 2011 was 24,722,[4] representing about 15% of the Falkirk council area total.
In 2008, a £15 million town centre development scheme was completed and opened which provided a new civic square, a library and large retailing outlets for Stenhousemuir.[5]
