Dunipace (Template:Langx "The hill-fort of the pass") is a village in the west of the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The village is 6.3 miles (10.1 km) south of Stirling and 5.3 miles (8.5 km) north-west of Falkirk. The village is situated on the north bank of the River Carron and adjoins the town of Denny, to the south of the river. Dunipace is part of the historic county of Stirlingshire.
The main road through Dunipace is the A872 road between Denny and Stirling. Based on the 2001 census, Falkirk council reported the population of Dunipace as being 2,444 residents.[2]
History
In 1983 a temporary Roman marching camp was found from aerial photographs just outside the town, north of the Carron.[3] A stone bridge was built between Dunipace and Denny in the 1820s.[4] In 1876 Dunipace was joined with Denny to form the Denny and Dunipace Burgh. This was abolished in 1975 when both areas became part of Falkirk District.
A legend exists that the famous Scottish patriot William Wallace,[5] lived in Dunipace with his uncle, who was a clergyman at the parish church.[6]
Edward the First, King of England, (known as Longshanks), stayed in Dunipace for three weeks in September and October 1301.
