Wheels Around Stirlingshire

In addition to Stirling itself, locations featured in Wheels Around Stirlingshire include Falkirk, Gargunnock, Bridge of Allan, the Inversnaid Hotel, Larbert, Stenhousemuir and Balfron. There's a great selection of photographs illustrating all sorts of wheeled transport from the horse-drawn era to motorisation, including a view of the paddle steamer Princess May on Loch Lomond. Alexanders of Falkirk feature prominently, having played a key role in the development of transport services across the county, although numerous smaller operators - many of which were ultimately absorbed by Alexanders - are illustrated too. Barr's Irn Bru and McCowan's Highland Toffee are a couple of well-loved firms with Stirlingshire connections whose vehicles and histories are also featured.
