HISTORY

A former mining town, no remnants of that industry or even major employers have a presence in Tullibody. Now, many of its residents commute to Stirling and Alloa for work. Rapid expansion in housebuilding has been going on in town since the 1990s and early 2000s.

St Serf was thought to have set up a church on the site of the present Auld Kirk during the fifth century. According to folklore, Kenneth MacAlpin, the King of Scots, gathered his army on Baingle Brae where they fought and subdued the Picts.

Tullibody's claim to fame is owed to David I of Scotland when he granted the lands and fishing rights to Cambuskenneth Abbey in 1149. This was also the time when Auld Kirk was erected and it still stands there today.
