Cowie is a small village in the council area around Stirling, Scotland, sitting on the rural fringe of the town amid rolling farmland and pockets of woodland. Historically centred on agriculture and local trades, it has retained a cluster of traditional stone cottages and a quiet village feel while becoming popular with commuters who work in nearby towns.
The community is small and close-knit, with local activities often focused on a village hall and outdoor pursuits - walking, cycling and enjoying views towards the Ochil Hills are common pastimes. Its location gives easy access to Stirling's historic sites and transport links, so residents benefit from both countryside living and the amenities of a regional centre.
