Alloa is a town in Clackmannanshire, set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies on the north bank of the Firth of Forth next to the foot of the Ochil Hills, 5.5 miles (8.9 kilometres) east of Stirling and 7.9 miles (12.7 kilometres) north of Falkirk. The name potentially means ‘rock plain’. At the time of the 2001 census, Alloa had a resident population of 18,989. Upgrades were made to the harbour throughout the 1700s, resulting in Alloa thriving as a river port whereby the goods produced in Glasgow were exported to continental Europe. During that time, and till the 1950s, the principle industry for the north and east of the town was coal mining. Wool has also always been plentiful in the area and in the early years of the 19th century, John Paton set up a modest yarn-spinning organisation within the town, later establishing Kilncraigs Mill. His business merged with J. & J. Baldwin of Halifax in 1924 to become the world-famous Paton & Baldwins Ltd. Alloa was recognised for its weaving and glassmaking industries during the 19th and into the early 20th century. Alloa has long been associated with the brewing sector, with no less than nine major breweries producing ales at its height. It was also home to a distillery. Following the closure of the distillery, barrel production continues to flourish in the town. The town offers a thriving shopping centre, with nationally recognised supermarket chains on the site of the old distillery, near to the railway station.
