As well as selling new and second hand books, this inclusive, cosy space has community at its heart with special events from book clubs to trivia nights; with a café serving delectable goods, what's not to love?
Cambuskenneth Abbey
Cambuskenneth Abbey was founded in about 1140 by King David I to serve Stirling Castle, which stands a short distance to the west. It was the scene of Robert the Bruce’s parliaments in 1314 and 1326, and the burial place of James III and Margaret of Denmark in the 1480s.
The abbey’s chief delight is the bell tower -- there are no parallels for this structure in Scotland. It’s an excellent example of 1200s architecture, with good lancet windows and ornamental arcades.
City Walls
The combination of ancient and modern attracts a classy crowd, whether they be tourists, families, locals, office workers, sports fans or weekend party lovers. Whoever you are, there's plenty of room - including the upstairs beer garden where you can enjoy your Belhaven Best with a view over King's Park.
The Crook Bar & Bistro
The Crook bar& Bistro is a small Tapas restaurant and bar serving a selection of Traditional Spanish dishes alongside dishes with a Scottish twist. A great selection of wines and spirits, especially well know for its extensive Gin selection. The Crook is located just off the main street in Bridge of Allan and provides a cosy location to enjoy food, drinks not found elsewhere in the Stirling area. It is also dog friendly! It has a couple of street side tables for making the best of the fleeting Scottish sunshine.
