Nestling at the foot of the Ochil Hills, Tillicoultry used to be famous for it's knitwear and textile industry. However times change and all the woollen mills have closed - Patons, Hewitts, the Clock Mill to name but a few

Daiglen still manufacture tartan but they are the sole surviving textile firm.

Despite this change of fortune in the manufacturing industry Tillicoultry has continued to grow with new housing appearing behind the Primary School, behind the Harviestoun Inn out the Dollar Road and behind Balcarres Street, next to the Fire Station.

Tillicoultry is well placed for commuting to all areas of Central Scotland with both Glasgow and Edinburgh within an hour's drive.

This postcard, a view of Tillicoultry from the Deil's Chair was sent by a soldier whose battalion was billeted near Tillicoultry in 1917. The X towards the top left hand corner of the card shows where they were. At this time during World War 1 the British Army was so large that units were stationed all over the country. Those not fighting were recovering, training and organising supplies for the men at the front.
