Bo'ness, properly Borrowstounness, is a coastal town in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth within the Falkirk council area, 16.9 miles (27.2 km) north-west of Edinburgh and 6.7 miles (10.8 km) east of Falkirk. Before 1975 the town was in the former county of West Lothian.
Bo'ness was formerly a centre of heavy industry, including coal mining and had a major port. However, the town is now primarily a commuter town with many of its residents travelling to work in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Falkirk. One of the main local sources of employment is the Ineos petrochemical facility (formerly BP) located in nearby Grangemouth.
Bo'ness has a single secondary school, Bo'ness Academy, and five primary schools. It also has excellent road links via the nearby M9 motorway.
