Nestling at the foot of the Ochil Hills, Tillicoultry used to be famous for it's knitwear and textile industry. However times change and all the woollen mills have closed - Patons, Hewitts, the Clock Mill to name but a few
Daiglen still manufacture tartan but they are the sole surviving textile firm.
Despite this change of fortune in the manufacturing industry Tillicoultry has continued to grow with new housing appearing behind the Primary School, behind the Harviestoun Inn out the Dollar Road and behind Balcarres Street, next to the Fire Station.
Tillicoultry is well placed for commuting to all areas of Central Scotland with both Glasgow and Edinburgh within an hour's drive.
Excellent shots of a fine little town, i remember visiting this place as a teenager and i can still remember that row of shops, so thanks for that trip down memory lane.
Climbing the Ochils was a highlight too, all in all, not a bad little place.
