Kippen is a small village in the Stirling council area, set on the southern edge of the Fintry Hills with sweeping views across the Carse of Forth towards the Campsie Fells and, on a clear day, Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond. The village’s stone-built streets, parish church and surrounding farmland hint at a long rural history while its elevated setting makes it popular with walkers and cyclists.
Traditionally an agricultural community, Kippen today blends farming with a commuter population who travel to Stirling and Glasgow, yet it retains a strong local social life centred on the village hall, pubs and annual events such as the show and gala. Small businesses, local clubs and easy access to nearby hills give it a lively village character despite its modest size.
