The use of red-snecked rubble makes it stand out from the neighbouring buildings. Above the entrance is a fine Burning Bush sculpture. The foundation stone for Falkirk Free Church was laid on 15th September 1894, and in January 1896 it opened at a total cost of £8,100. It was designed by James Strang in the mid-pointed Gothic style. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">The inside was refurbished recently and is now bright and clean. Colourful stained glass in a variety of styles fills the ground floor windows. It includes the figure of St Modan – the patron saint of the town – and the town’s coat of arms and motto BETTER MEDDLE WI THE DEIL THAN THE BAIRNS O FALKIRK.</span></p>]]></dcterms:description>
