Alva Glen
Alva lies at the foot of the Ochil Hills in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. During the Industrial Revolution, Alva developed as a textile manufacturing centre; the woollen mills, originally water-powered, provided employment for locals and migrants to the area.
The spectacular Alva Glen cuts into the Ochils immediately north of the town. Alva Burn flows from the glen, through Alva, and into the River Devon. There are several dams in the glen, which were used to regulate water supply to the mills.
