Nostalgic memories of South Alloa's local history

Share your own memories of South Alloa and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My father was born in South Alloa in 1928. He too told us a story about a whale being washed up. When was your mother born, would she have known my dad?
I live in South Alloa and my mother did too, and she still does. My mother told me about a whale that came up the Forth near South Alloa, many people came to see this whale and many came to help move it back into the sea. After they moved it back into the sea it came back to where it was again, and soon everyone knew the whale had come to rest in peace and die, so they called it Mobby, but I do not know why they called it Mobby.
