Better not prod Falkirk council, as otherwise they'd have the issue of Bo'ness vs Borrowstounness to deal with.

Similarly Grangemouth apparently has a Bo'ness Road...

A related issue would be places in England named 'by-the-Sea', e.g. Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.

So the signs shall simply have to match reality.
