Alloa is the county town of Clackmannanshire, Scotland's smallest county, situated at the head of the Forth estuary. The town has a brewing heritage (once home to multiple breweries) and is now benefiting from its position on the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail line, which was reopened in 2008. Alloa Tower is one of the largest and best-preserved medieval tower houses in Scotland.
