Local knowledge Falkland needed please

[goldie61]

I have a couple of families in Falkland in the Censuses, and also given on marriage registrations, as living at ‘Bellisle’ in Falkland.
I can’t seem to find this on a map anywhere.
Anyone have any ideas where it would have been?
Many thanks

Hi
Bellisle was a house at the junction of Victoria Place and Castle Street.

wow! That's great FifanC.
Thanks very much for the links. 
Very interesting indeed.
Although it says in the OS Name Books (about 1855), it was a single storey stone house, in the 1861 and 1871 there seem to be at least 5 households living there. I guess they had one or two rooms each.

You say 'was' a house. Do you know if it is still standing?

Belleisle in Falkland is now South Street - see the low stone cottages near the church to the west of the Horsemarket on Google Earth.
