Tillicoultry history
Tillicoultry was taken from Aleumus de Meser in 1261 by Alexander III for failure to render due feudal services. The origins of the village lie in the Westertown (previously Cairnstown) area.
Industry
The burn which runs off the Ochils and down through the glen into west of the village provided an attractive source of water for the early textile industry in Tillicoultry. Textile mills and coal mines remained the biggest employers of the local population until the first half of the 20th century.
The Flood of 1877
Tillicoultry Burn burst its banks on the morning of 28 August 1877. Flooding was widespread throughout Strathdevon, both Alloa Railway station and Alloa Brewery were submerged. Three people, William Hutchison, William Stillie and Isabella Miller, were swept away when the bridge on which they were standing collapsed into the flood waters.
