April 30, 2002 - Rare 1919 Photo of Bridge of Allan

Bridge of Allan is home to the Stirlings of Keir, and quite a few other branches of the Stirling family.  There are quite a number of postcards from the 1900-1930 timeframe of various hotels and spas in Bridge of Allan, but this is the first one we've seen of the bridge itself.
