The Moon as seen from the Earth is about the same size as the sun in the far distance. This checks that the scale of these objects is about right, as of course the moon just eclipses the sun. See #185867, and more science at: #185786.

Not on map but is the cycle / pathway just after the railway bridge, next to the fire station. This used to be a trail path, but thanks to Falkirk council its now a paved cycle path. #31935 #31936
