It is believed that Tullibody Old Bridge was constructed in the early 16th century by Robert Spittal, court tailor to James IV. In 1560, the eastern-most arch was demolished by Sir William Kirkcaldy of Grange to impede an advance on Stirling by French soldiers during the regency of Mary of Guise. In 1697, a major repair on the bridge was undertaken by the mason Thomas Bauchop.
