Hope that sale of historic Falkirk house will give building a 'new lease of life'

A historic mansion house owned by Falkirk Council that has lain vacant since 2005 will be put up for sale on the open market in the hope it will get "a new lease of life".

After a public consultation found in favour of selling Kilns House, members of Falkirk Council’s executive agreed on Tuesday that Kilns House, Falkirk, should be advertised and sold on the open market.

However, the public path between Dollar Park and Falkirk Town Hall - which is currently part of the grounds - will remain in council ownership, which will give "substantial protection to the trees in the grounds", councillors were assured.
