For centuries, spinning and weaving has been a way of life in the 'hillfoots' villages of Clackmannanshire - Scotland's 'wee county'. A visit to Scotland's Mill Trail Visitor Centre takes you back 150 years to discover what life was like in the mill factories of the time.
See the machine which changed the course of history and hear 12 year-old Mary Simpson describe her 14 hour working day in the mills.
Browse through our superb range of local factory bargains and craft produce, relax in the Ochil View Coffee Shop and pick up some top brand ladieswear at unbelievable prices at D & M Fashions.
