Glen Alva, a picturesque beauty spot in Clackmannanshire, is a favourite with Sue and Alan Davis, for whom this
dance was devised.
Alva Glen is situated above the village of Alva at the foot of the Ochil Hills. A car park gives access to the formal
gardens which in years gone by attracted people from all over central Scotland to dance to music in the
illuminated glen.
The path runs into a more rugged area offering views down into a steep gorge, and then passes the remnants of
an old dam that supplied the mills. By 1830, nine mills used the fast flowing water to drive their machines.
