Alva Glen - (Scotland) Walking In The Ochil Hills

This Video Is Dedicataed To Margaret Ann Stewart, 04/02/1960 - 11/11/2006 R.I.P
Start from the car park in Alva at the north end of Brook Street - follow signs of Alva Glen - north of the main road (A91) between Stirling & Tillicoultry.

From the top of Brook Street; follow the path through the woods, turn left after crossing the burn and climb some steps to follow the line of an old water pipe under the path up the glen. The path is mostly well surfaced and meanders back and forth across the burn. At the third bridge the path swings up the hill in a series of hairpin bends, finally reaching a viewpoint high above the glen. Go through the kissing gate and take the high level path back around the hill and down a steep path to the edge of the golf course - take care in wet conditions here. Cross an old wall via a stile to get back to the start.
Access Info

The A91 is a busy trunk road serving all the 'hillfoot' towns - bus services along this route are frequent. The Mill Trail Visitor Centre and Tourist Information Centre will have more details on timetables.
Additional Info

The 'Hillfoots' is the colloquial term for all of the settlements along the Southern edge of the Ochil Hills - from Menstrie in the West, through to Alva and Tillicoultry to Dollar in the East.
