Alva, Scottish Gaelic: Allamhagh Beag, meaning little plain of the rock, is one of a number of towns situated immediately to the south of the Ochil Hills, collectively referred to as the Hillfoots villages or simply The Hillfoots. Alva was already established with a church by 1260 when the land was granted to Cambuskenneth Abbey. In the early 1700s, silver was discovered in Alva Glen, leading to a mine operation that yielded significant wealth before the vein was depleted. During the Industrial Revolution, Alva developed as a textile manufacturing centre; the woollen mills, originally water-powered, provided employment for locals and migrants to the area. A severe flood in 1883 caused widespread damage to the town and the glen. The Cochrane brothers made significant contributions to the town, including the establishment of Cochrane Park and Hall. John Eadie was born on 9 May 1810 in Alva. Having studied the arts curriculum at the University of Glasgow, he studied for the ministry at the Divinity Hall of the United Secession Church, a dissenting body which, on its union a few years later with the Relief Church, adopted the title the United Presbyterian Church. In 1843 Eadie was appointed professor of biblical literature and hermeneutics in the Divinity Hall of the United Presbyterian body. He held this appointment along with his ministerial charge till the close of his life. He received the honorary degree of LLD from Glasgow University in 1844, and that of DD from the University of St Andrews in Fife, in 1850.
