Bleak on a cloudy, winter day!

The Weir in Tullibody is a scenic spot on the River Devon where you can enjoy a walk, a picnic or some fishing. The Weir is located near the old bridge that connects Tullibody to Alloa. The weather in Tullibody can be chilly and rainy, so make sure to dress warmly and bring an umbrella.

A tough route best done on firm ground.

Highest peak in Central Belt of Scotland and excellent views of the belt and highland to the north

At 721m Ben Cleuch is the highest point in the Ochils and offers a great view all around. It's classified as a Fiona and a Donald. A popular walk from the south as a loop from Tillicoultry, it also makes a great mountain run with plenty of ascent and a wonderful descent.

New wood sculptures going in next week. A butterfly and Neanderthal man.

This was quite a steep hike up a grassy path. Best to ride the track from menstrie and save the legs 😉

A few decent paths up and down. Descended the path going south east from summit which was well defined yo start off with but soon vanished and had to push through bracken and climb a couple of fences.

If reasonably competent, descend on mountain bike via very steep path to south west for a challenge.

Head to the track between the road and the field. The Stone is clearly visible from that point. The site should only be accessed when not being used for Crops. The field also had other Artifacts and a stone circle, this was apparently removed around 1910~1920, shame really. As alternative route there is a gate entrance at the far end of the field which the NCN 76 route goes past.

The views from up here make it all the more worth the climb!

Alva Glen is a spectacular gorge situated above the village of Alva at the foot of the Ochil Hills. Alva Glen is a diverse and attractive glen. The forest floor is carpeted with many wild flowers and there’s a variety of wildlife to spot, such as the kestrel and the long tailed wagtail. The glen is managed by the Alva Glen Heritage Trust which is run entirely by volunteers. They regularly plant new tree and shrubs in the area as well as removing non-native species of plant. Each year the formal garden and waterfalls are illuminated by coloured lights. These stunning Alva Glen illuminations have been attracting people from all over central Scotland for many years. As you follow the path from the car park you reach the first of five waterfalls, the highlights of the glen, including the 23m Craighorn Fall and the Big Fall, a hidden waterfall which cascades magically into the Smugglers Cave. You can also see a number of ancient hill-terraces, known locally as ‘The Delvins’, on the slopes of the glen. The glen was once the centre of a busy textile industry and the remnants of an old dam and numerous workshops can be spotted. There are a number information signs to tell you about the history of the area.
