The town to the right and Causewayhead (the causeway the patriot army led by William Wallace attacked from in 1297); until the M9 Stirling by-pass was opened this used to be the main road to the north. The Forth is almost at high tide and in mild spate after a few days of heavy rain and at this time a treacherous stretch of water below the piers of the Auld Brig with strong eddies and whirlpools evident.
