The occupants of Menstrie when processed wool from lamb farmed on the Ochils. In 1800, business people from Tullibody established a carding as well as spinning mill on the east side of the Menstrie Burn to manipulate its soft water and also power, missing from their very own village.

This signed up with the old North British Railway (N.B.R.) line between Alloa and also Stirling at Cambus. Menstrie had its very own passenger station at the North end of Tullibody Road.

In the mid-20th Century, Menstrie (pop. 1200 - 1300) was home to family members whose menfolk worked the Clackmannanshire Coalfield as well as various other mines in Central Scotland. As the mining as well as fabric industries have decreased, Menstrie has actually come to be a commuter dormitory, spreading over the nearby farmland.
