Tillicoultry
One of the Hillfoots Villages
on the A91, which runs from Stirling
to St. Andrews, Tillicoultry is situated at the southern base of the Ochil Hills
, which provide a spectacular backdrop. The River Devon lies to the south. The river also runs through neighbouring villages Dollar
and Alva to the east and west respectively. The former mining village
of Coalsnaughton
lies just south, whilst Alloa
lies four miles south-west.
For brevity, Tillicoultry is often referred to as 'Tilly' by the locals.
The mount referred to by the name is most likely Kirkhill at the east of the town. An alternative Latin etymology, Tellus culta - the cultivated land - was suggested by Rev. William Osborne, who was minister of the parish from 1773 to 1794, however, this is extremely unlikely as the prefix "tilly-" or "tullie-" can be found in a number of other Scottish names where it anglicises "Tulach".
for failure to render due feudal services. The estate had originally been received by de Meser's father, also Aleumus, from Alexander II
. It was then granted to William Count of Mar and remained in possession of the Mar family until 1483, when it changed hands to the ancestors of Lord Colville of Culross. By 1634 it was sold to Sir William Alexander of Menstrie (later, 1st Earl of Stirling). Between 1644 and 1840, ownership of the estate changed hands frequently.
The origins of the village lie in the Westertown (previously Cairnstown) area, where the road to Stirling crossed the Tillicoultry Burn
. It is thought that the centre of Westertown was probably in the area now known as Shillinghill.
There are records of a Parish church
existing in Tillicoultry from 1639, the current minister being Colin Coyle, who only recently replaced the shamed Neil McMurray, and knowledge of cloth manufacture dating from the 1560s. Traces of a Druid
circle, sixty feet in diameter, were found in the eastern area of the parish at the end of the 18th century. A Pictish fortress stood upon the Castle Craig, near the current site of Craigfoot Quarry on Wood Hill
, to the west of Tillicoultry Glen
. This has long since been ruined, however legend has it that the stone of the fortress was employed in the building of Stirling Castle
.
Due to the rapid growth of the village during the 19th century, there were problems with overcrowding, poor housing, high infant mortality, water supply and drainage. In an attempt to address these problems, Tillicoultry Burgh
was created in 1871. It lasted until 1975 when it disappeared as a result of local government reorganisation.
Around 1930, one of the first bus stations in the country was built at Murray Square to serve the eight bus services which terminated in the town. The original glass and cast iron
shelters were replaced by modern shelters some time ago. Despite the growth in car ownership and the corresponding decline in public transport
, Tillicoultry, and indeed all the Hillfoots villages, retain a regular bus service.
The old Harviestoun
estate, where Archibald Tait (1811–82), Archbishop of Canterbury
, spent much of his boyhood, lies East-North-East of the village. Robert Burns
visited the estate in the summer of 1787, during his stay he wrote The Banks of the Devon and Fairest Maid on Devon Banks. A commemorative cairn
at the roadside, near the east lodge to Harviestoun, marks this event.
The burn which runs off the Ochils and down through the glen
into west of the village provided an attractive source of water for the early textile
industry in Tillicoultry, being used for the washing and dying of wool. During the early 18th century a cloth known as Tillicoultry Serge
was manufactured by weaving worsted
with linen
.
By the time of the industrial revolution
the burn was a recognised source of power, with the first mill being established in the 1790s. Many more textile mills were built along the burnside, by the 1830s, steam powered mills were introduced and by 1870 there were 12 mills employing over 2000 people. As the industry expanded, more workers were attracted to the village. The population of the parish, which had stood less than 1000 at the turn of the 19th century, had grown to over 4500 by the early 1850s.
Textile mills and coal
mines remained the biggest employers of the local population until the first half of the 20th century. In the 1950s the most recent colliery (map) to be worked, on the south bank of the River Devon, set new productivity records due to a high level of mechanisation. Its impressive adit
entrance, now safely bricked up, can still be seen. In 1851, due to the importance of Tillicoultry as an industrial centre, it became the first Hillfoots village to have a rail connection.
In 1921 Samuel Jones Limited established a paper mill at Devonvale, the current site of Sterling Furniture
. In 1926, 33 people were employed at the site and the firm returned its first profit. By 1936, 238 staff were employed by the company. Sydney Platfoot was appointed Managing Director of the Devonvale works in 1922, he later went on to become town provost
from 1930 to 1936. In 1964, the company merged with Wiggins Teape and by 1967 employed a fifth of the working population.
Quartz-dolerite
was first extracted in 1930 from the now inoperative Craigfoot Quarry
(map), however quarrying had taken place on a smaller scale at the site since 1880. On January 26, 1949 the quarry was the site of a tragic explosion when a magazine
containing 150 lb of explosive detonated killing quarryman Alexander Honeyman and blowing out doors and windows in the Shillinghill and Upper Mill Street area.
Following a particularly wet summer and torrential rainfall over a 12 hour period, Tillicoultry Burn burst its banks on the morning of August 28, 1877. Flooding was widespread throughout Devon Valley
, both Alloa Railway station and Alloa Brewery were submerged, crops were destroyed around Tullibody
and there was extensive property damage in Dollar also. The Alloa Advertiser described the rainfall as 'not simply heavy rain; it was a terrific downpour- persistent, incessant, it fell in bucketfuls- to use our expressive vernacular it came down like "hale water"'.
Workers in mills to the west side of the burn were trapped in their workplaces, unable to cross Mill Street due to the flood water. By breakfast time the houses and shops of High Street were under three feet of water.
Three people, Castle Mill owner William Hutchison, dyer William Stillie and Isabella Miller, a young factory worker, were swept away when the bridge on which they were standing collapsed into the flood waters. The collapse was probably due to the impact of water-borne debris upon the embankment on which the foundation of the bridge stood. Both William Hutchison and Isabella Miller perished in the torrent, however William Stillie was rescued further downstream. Despite exhaustive searches, Isabella Miller's body was not recovered for several days. It was eventually discovered at Glenfoot, where the burn joins the River Devon.
The village was deprived of water and gas supplies for a week following the flood. The cost of repairs to the Burnside amounted to £2,000.
. Many of the mill buildings have been converted into residential accommodation. Tillicoultry railway station, which was situated opposite Devonvale Hall, was closed in 1964.
The Clock Mill, built by James and George Walker of Galashiels
, which is situated at the top of Upper Mill Street, formerly a museum, then a business centre and now residential flats.
The village developed on an oblique grid pattern. A series of diagonal streets, mostly lined with attractive cottages, run between the High Street and Walker Terrace, which runs parallel. The eastern areas of the village has more recent residential developments, dating from the 1940s to present.
Tillicoultry is now best known for its large retail outlet, Sterling Furniture
, based in the former Devonvale paper mill
complex, as well as for the adjacent Sterling Mills shopping centre. It is also particularly well known as the home town of Lara Macleod, a sculptor now based in Edinburgh.
The village also has a 400 pupil Primary School, which is situated next to the Fir Park artificial ski slope. Secondary School
aged children attend Alva Academy.
It has a picturesque 9 hole golf course, par 68. The course itself is very tricky and can make even the best golfer struggle. Few players can have good scores when the wind and rain pick up making it one of the most difficult courses in the Wee County.
For a small town of only a few thousand citizens, there has been an unusually high numbers of residents who have appeared in National TV shows:
