Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Stirlingshire
This page summarises the local government organisation of Stirlingshire since 1890.
Stirlingshire was one of Scotland's historic counties in 1890.
In 1890 enclaves and exclaves (detached areas) were abolished, with some exclaves of Stirlingshire transferred to Clackmannanshire and Perthshire.
In 1890 Stirlingshire had the following burghs: Stirling (royal burgh), Bridge of Allan, Denny & Dunipace, Falkirk, Grangemouth, Kilsyth.
In 1975 there was major reorganisation as the counties were abolished and replaced by 12 Regions. Stirlingshire was merged with Clackmannanshire and with part of Perthshire (including Callander, Doune and Dunblane) and part of
West Lothian (including Bo'ness) to form the new Central Region.
This was a two-tier administration with three Districts: Clackmannan, Falkirk (which included the western part of the former West Lothian), and Stirling.
In 1996 there was further reorganisation as the Regions and Districts were abolished and replaced by 32 unitary councils.
Central Region was abolished and the three Districts became Unitary Councils.
