Before the construction of Denny High School there was a golf course on the site.

This may be a name transferred from Glenhead which is around two miles to the South West. 

Ferniesyde appears on old local maps.  Its name obviously derives from the local plant life in the vicinity. 

Mr and Mrs Mulholland who served the public with their grocer/Post Office business for many decades and were in St Mary's Church where Mrs Mulholland played the organ.  They were great supporters of Bo'ness Fair.  From their shop they would run buses to football games and trips for their customers.

The early maps identify the area as dedicated to Coal Mining and there was a Meldrum Pit locally

The popular Whyteside Inn stood on the site of this development until closure and  demolition.
