About Alva
The town is situated on slightly higher ground than the surrounding carse, being on two overlapping alluvial fans, comprising material deposited by the Carnaughton Glen and Alva Glen burns. The rock beneath the carse in this area is carboniferous. In the 19th century coal was mined at the Caroline Pit to the south of the town beside the River Devon, and has been mined in the higher ground to the south for a much longer period.A more recent attempt, the Glenochil Colliery, was not a success, and the site is now a prison. The spectacular Alva Glen cuts into the Ochils immediately north of the town. Alva Burn flows from the glen, through Alva, and into the River Devon. To the east of Alva Glen, and parallel to it, is the Silver Glen, where silver was mined at one time
Until the 1970s, most of Alva's leading industries dated from the eighteenth Century; mainly these were textiles, foundry work, shipbuilding and paper-making, the oldest industry in the city, with paper having been first made there in 1694. Paper-making has reduced in importance since the closures of Donside Paper Mill in 2001 and the Davidson Mill in 2005 leaving the Stoneywood Paper Mill with a workforce of approximately 500. Textile production ended in 2004 when Richards of Alva closed.
