Alva

The small village of Alva in Clackmannan County has about 4700 inhabitants and is located in the foothills of the Ochil Hills. It was once a great manufacturing center but the local industry has declined since the Victorian era. You can see the decline just by walking through the town...the theater and public pool are closed, buildings are abandoned, and a single, sad hotel is rarely full.
