The farmhouse is now derelict and the water defences of this island have been breached so that it can flood during exceptionally high tides. (The bank in the foreground is not in this square, but the farm is!)

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking across the river Forth and its mudflats which are numerous on this stretch of the river towards Alloa Inch which is an island in the middle of the river. The pier and a few old boats can be seen on the island which is a site of special scientific interest. On the left horizon the Wallace Monument at Stirling can also be seen.

Dist:1.0km<br/>The railway between Throsk and Alloa was authorised in 1879 as a branch from the Caledonian Railway's South Alloa branch, the CR absorbed the line in 1884 and it was closed from 6 May 1968. The photograph is from the middle of the river, we are passing through where the swing span was, and shows the southern part of the bridge. This bridge, until the opening of the Forth Bridge at Queensferry, was the most downstream bridge on the Forth. Latterly it was a somewhat rickety affair with a 10mph speed restriction and was used by a shuttle service between Larbert and Alloa operated by a 4 wheel diesel railbus although, in earlier years, there had been through Glasgow - Perth services via the Devon Valley. The bridge, by the way, is not shown on the OS 1/50000 map (!) but is on the Admiralty Charts, fortunately.
