This building, facing Main Street, opened in 1891 and has been refurbished twice. A new extension was built to the rear in 2009. (See NS8582 : Larbert Village Primary School, rear view). The current pupil roll is just under 300 boys and girls aged 4 - 12.

Building in Main Street

The coaching arch (?) and not-quite symmetrical architecture of this building caught my eye.

Looking north from the exit from the station car park. The building is Gillespie Terrace, and has a large ghost sign painted on the gable end - closer view: NS8682 : Ghost sign, Larbert.

Ghost sign, Larbert

A sign has been painted on the gable end of this building in Muirhall Road. The building is named Gillespie Terrace. The sign is almost illegible, but could start with the name 'Gillespie' and the third word is 'grocer', so I suspect the terrace was named after a business that operated here. Wider view of building: NS8682 : Businesses and flats, Muirhall Road.
