| About Bridge Of Allan: | ||
| Bridge of Allan is situated less than three miles from the centre of Stirling. It began life as a small rural village, mainly made up of cottages and a mills. The wooded hill above the town is called mine woods where copper was mined as early as the 16th century and at intervals thereafter right up to 1807. The main audit (entrance shaft) of the mine can still be seen today in mine woods. The copper was used in the mint at Stirling to produce the first coinage of bawbees for the coronation of Mary Queen of Scots in 1543. In the 18th two more shafts were created to drain spring water from the mine. This mineralised water soon attracted large numbers of people who came to "take the waters" due to its alleged healing powers. In 1820 samples of the water were analysed and shown to be rich in dissolved minerals. This eventually led to the development of the Spa. | ||
