Menstrie
Menstrie is a village in the county of Clackmannanshire in Scotland. It is about 5 miles (8 kilometres) east-north-east of Stirling and is among a string of communities that, because of their location at the base of the Ochil Hills, are jointly referred to as the Hillfoots Towns or just The Hillfoots. The occupants of Menstrie once refined woollen from lamb farmed on the Ochils. In 1800, entrepreneurs from Tullibody set up a carding and rotating mill on the east side of the Menstrie Burn to manipulate its soft water and power, lacking from their own village. In the early 19th century a straight road was built on the flat ground of the carse or floodplain to by-pass the old Hillfoots Road and also improve the transportation of goods to and from the Hillfoots villages. Menstrie's Long Row and Ochil Road push the old course along the foot of capitals. The new road, now the A91, ended up being an emphasis for building of churches, residences, mills and shops. By the mid-19th century, the Elmbank and Forthvale mills stayed in business on either side of the Menstrie Burn. In 1841, Menstrie's population had to do with 500 but had actually increased to greater than 900 by 1881. In the 1860s a firm, that included the proprietors of regional mills as well as a distillery, funded a branch railway line via Menstrie to a terminus in Alva. This signed up with the old North British Railway (N.B.R.) line between Alloa and Stirling at Cambus. Menstrie had its own guest station at the North end of Tullibody Road. Virtually absolutely nothing of the station stays and the train branch line, which remained to bring freight after the Beeching Axe, fell into disuse throughout the mid-1980s in favour of road transport. The Glenochil Distillery had actually opened up in the middle 18th century on the site of the Doll Farm to the eastern of the town, close to the Dams Burn. Production has continued on this site for more than 250 years though production of whisky stopped about 1930. Yeast, at first a by-product of whisky fermentation, had gradually become the main product and went for manufacture of whisky and bread. Soft water, locally readily available, is still useful. An extensive bound warehouse area remains for storage of whisky as it develops in barrels before bottling, while bakers' yeast has actually given way to fermentation items originated from yeast. The whisky and also yeast services are currently operated by separate companies, specifically Diageo, (successors to Distillers Company) as well as Kerry Group. The last conducts item growth as well as manufacturing at the Menstrie site. Elmbank Mill, Menstrie in March 2010. The Forthvale Mill no longer stands but the Elmbank Mill, having been made use of for some years as offices by the Water Board, currently houses local business. A furnishings factory, The Charrier, stood near the Menstrie Burn yet was ruined by fire in about 1968. A street close by now births its name. In the mid-20th Century, Menstrie (pop. 1200 - 1300) was home to family members whose menfolk worked the Clackmannanshire Coalfield and various other mines in Central Scotland. As the mining and textile industries have actually declined, Menstrie has actually ended up being a traveler dormitory, topping the nearby farmland. At the Censuses in 1991, 2001 as well as 2011, Menstrie's population was 2274, 2083 and also 2804 specifically. For 2016, the population was approximated as 2872.
