Tour Scotland photograph of a ferris wheel at the Highland Games in Alva, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The Ochil Hills are in the background. Historically, the hills, combined with the town being built at the lowest bridge point on the River Forth, led to Stirling's importance as a main gateway to the Highlands. In the early Industrial Revolution, several mill towns such as Tillicoultry, Alva and Menstrie, the Hillfoots Villages, grew up in the shadow of the Ochils to tap the water power.
