Шаблон:Infobox park Bantaskine is a park with woodlands in Falkirk, Scotland[1] that was formerly the Bantaskine Estate, a coal mining estate.[2][3][4][5][6] The artist Mary Georgina Wade Wilson grew up there. The Battle of Falkirk Muir was fought nearby.[7][8] It is also known as South Bantaskine. North Bantaskine, on the other side of the Union Canal, was an agricultural estate.[9] It is listed as a historically significant archeological site by Historic Environment Scotland.[6]

Etymology

The name may be from the Welsh words for a rise and a hollow, signifying a rise over a hollow.[10]

History

The property was owned by a merchant operating in West Indian territories, Thomas Campbell Hagart.[11] A brickworks was also on the property.[12]

Wilson family

The Bantaskine estate was held by the Wilson coal magnate family.[5] Coal magnate Robert Wilson established the estate as part of his coal mining empire. After his death, his 21-year-old son and future MP John Wilson (1815 - 1883) took over running the estate. He had eight daughters and a son.[13][14] The stained glass windows from a mansion that once stood in the property are preserved at a local shopping center.[15]

Robert Moffat stayed at the estate several times.[5][16] It had substantial landscaping and gardens. Miss Wilson used them as a subject of her paintings.[17]
