An Illustrated History and Geography of Bonnybridge

An alien came tae Bonnybrig

In a braw wee warp-drive rocket.

He landit in a glaury park,

And then he went hame mawkit!

This is an ongoing project which will build up a picture of the REAL history and geography of Bonnybridge and its surroundings - hopefully of interest to residents and, perhaps, pupils looking for research material for a school topic (no little green men!). More information about High Bonnybridge and Greenhill can be found at the Greenhill Historical Society website - http://www.greenhillhistoricalsociety.org.uk
