BRIDGE OF ALLAN

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 532 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BRIDGE OF ALLAN , a police
burgh
  of Stirlingshire,
Scotland
 . Pop. (1901) 3240. It lies on the Allan, a left-hand tributary of the Forth, 3 M. N. of Stirling by the Caledonian railway and by tramway. Built largely on the well-wooded slopes of Westerton and Airthrey Hill, sheltered by the Ochils from the north and
east
  winds, and environed by charming scenery, it has a
great
  reputation as a health resort and watering-place, especially in winter and
spring
 . There is a pump-room. The
chief
  buildings are the hydropathic and the Macfarlane museum of fine art and natural history. The
industries
  include bleaching, dyeing and
paper
 -making. The Strathallan Gathering, usually held in the neighbourhood, is the most popular athletic meeting in mid-
Scotland
 . Airthrey Castle,
standing
  in a fine park with a lake, adjoins the town on the south-
east
 , and just beyond it are the old church and burying-ground of Logie, beautifully situated at the foot of a granite spur of the Ochil range.
