Menstrie is a compact village in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, set at the foot of the Ochil Hills as one of the Hillfoots communities. It enjoys immediate access to walks and glens, with countryside and views across the Forth valley, yet sits within easy reach of larger centres such as Stirling, giving it a mix of rural character and commuter convenience.
The village's most notable historic site is Menstrie Castle, a 16th‑century house associated with William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling, and his links to early colonisation in Nova Scotia. Menstrie has a modest local economy and social life centred on community facilities, a primary school and small businesses, and its past industrial footprint - mills on local burns and ties to the wider Hillfoots textile and mining history - is still visible in the landscape and village layout.
