Old Photographs Of Alva Clackmannanshire Scotland

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Alva, Scottish Gaelic: Allamhagh Beag, meaning little plain of the rock, a small town in Clackmannanshire, set in the Central Lowlands. It 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. 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.
