Alloa
Alloa is a town located within Clackmannanshire, set within the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It is located on the north bank of the Firth of Forth near the foot of the Ochil Hills, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) east of Stirling and 7.9 miles (12.7 km) 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 had been made to the harbour through the 18th century, resulting in Alloa thriving as a river port by which the merchandise produced in Glasgow were exported to continental Europe. During those times, and till the 1950s, the principle industry to 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 created a small yarn-spinning company inside 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 through the 19th and into the early 20th century. Alloa has long been linked to the brewing sector, with a minimum of nine major breweries producing ales at its height. It was also home to a distillery. After the closure of the distillery, barrel cooperage continues to flourish in the town. The town boasts a busy shopping centre, with nationally recognised supermarket chains on the site of the old distillery, near to the railway station. For all your property improvements, make sure that you use trustworthy specialists in Alloa to make sure you obtain good quality work.
