Slamannan is a small village and parish in the council area of Falkirk, in central Scotland. It sits on low moorland and farmland on the edge of the Central Belt, offering wide, open views that stretch towards the Ochils and the Forth valleys; the surrounding landscape is a mix of agricultural fields, peat bogs and patches of moor that are valued for walking and birdlife.
Historically the area was shaped by coal and shale mining and by 19th‑century mineral railways that linked local pits to canals and towns, though today the economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities. The village retains a quiet, community‑minded character with local events and a strong sense of place rooted in its rural and industrial past; it was traditionally part of Stirlingshire before modern council boundaries were drawn.
