About

Dunblane and Bridge of Allan ward lies in the southern part of the Stirling council area. The area is defined by its position along the Allan Water, which flows from the Ochil Hills towards the River Forth. It consists primarily of the two historic towns of Dunblane, with its notable cathedral, and Bridge of Allan, a former spa town. The landscape transitions from residential settlements to greenbelt land and wooded slopes.

The ward has strong transport links via the A9 road and a mainline railway station. The University of Stirling's main campus, with its loch and parkland, is a significant local institution. The area's character is shaped by its educational facilities, historical architecture, and proximity to walking routes in the surrounding hills.
