A Victorian spa town and
holiday resort near Stirling, Bridge of Allan is
set below the beautiful Ochil Hills on the Allan
Water. Robert Louis Stevenson was one of those who
‘took the waters’ at nearby Airthrey. The 220ft
tower of the Wallace Monument is just two miles
away at Abbey Craig. It contains a double-handed
steel sword reputedly used by the Scottish patriot
William Wallace as he cut a swathe through the
English soldiery.
