This book is the complete history of Kippen, a rural parish in the heart of Scotland that has played a significant role in the nation's history over thousands of years. Situated in Stirlingshire's Vale of Menteith, Kippen occupies a key strategic position. The village dominates the 'Fords of Frew', one of the wonders of ancient Scotland and the northern gateway of the Kingdom of Strathclyde. Here the Romans came and left a legacy that was to shape much of Scotland's subsequent history. Here Briton confronted Pict, Lowlander faced Highlander, Covenanter stood against Episcopalian and Williamite fought Jacobite. Kippen also saw the dramatic effects of the agricultural revolution, the arrival of the railway and was at the centre of the development of rural education in Scotland.
