Stenhousemuir history

---

The “stone house” from which the village took its name was a Roman building on the north of the Carron River Valley known in later centuries as Arthur’s O’on, i.e. King Arthur’s oven. It is no longer to be seen, having been demolished to rebuild a dam on the River Carron by Sir Michael Bruce of Stenhouse in 1743. The original building has been localised to the garden of a modern house on a housing estate.
