Alva Glen is in the Ochil Hills which are just north of Falkirk across the River Forth.  The area is called Clackmannanshire and the local council has done a great job of making it very accessible to the public.  There are some good trails that take you right to the top of the hills.

There are a couple of really nice waterfalls up the glen this is the first one you see when going up.

This is the next one you see when going up the main trail, you certainly don't see a lot of these natural wonders in Florida.

It doesn't take too long before you get a bit further up the trail and a lot higher.  There are some great views and benches so you can just sit and relax and enjoy the countryside.

This is what the trail looks like when you are getting out of the deep glen.

Once you get up the hillside then you can see right across the Forth Valley.  Cooper just sat here and looked out across the vista for ages, it was so obvious that this was the very first hill he had climbed and had never seen this type of view before.
