About Discover Bridge of Allan

Euan has worked in the licence trade in Scotland since 1990 in various operational and project roles. Most notably Operations Director at Belhaven. Since then he has owned and operated a number of bars, restaurants and a hotel.

He currently is part of the senior team at The Signature Group and heads up the Cold Town Brewery at Scot Brew.

Euan comments “As a resident of Bridge of Allan for some 18 years I understand and appreciate the significant resources the village has to offer. I wanted to boast to all that would listen about the village and its people. This project delivers the conduit to allow that to happen.”

Isabel worked in academia as a social researcher for several years before she was forced to retire on the grounds of ill-health. She has previously volunteered in a range of capacities, including for the Citizens Advice Bureau in Dundee. She moved to Bridge of Allan in 2023 and fell in love with the town, community and surrounding area. Her interests lie in supporting the environmental sustainability of Bridge of Allan, and, as a wheelchair user, in developing access to the community’s resources for all.

I moved to Bridge of Allan in 1983 when I bought the Queens Hotel on Henderson Street.

As a Hotelier, I immediately met lots of friendly locals and I quickly realised what an amazing place to which I had moved. The quality of the hospitality outlets and the varied selection of independent retailers made socialising and shopping locally a wonderful experience.

Not only is there so much to do in the area but the village is also a perfect place to raise a family.

That warm, welcoming feeling has never left me and now, nearly 40 years later, I want to help to continue the village legacy and give back to the community.

I was always disappointed that more people did not know about this delightful place and now we are in the digital age there is the potential to tell the entire world through the internet.

I see the “Discover Bridge of Allan” project as a sustainable community and business led opportunity to develop the village and shape its future. I am delighted to support the project and continue to volunteer my services.

Keen to contribute to the area's long term success.

I am a former Senior Police Officer who retired as Head of Counter Terrorism and Covert Specialist Training at Police Scotland in 2022.

During a near 3 decade long career, I spearheaded the design and delivery of cutting-edge national training programmes, led and coordinated international serious organised crime investigations, and made significant national improvements to the Police service across his portfolio.

Since my retirement, I have focussed on charity fundraising for the Eilidh Brown Respite Home in Thornhill through completion of numerous endurance challenges, notably completing a solo cycle, unaided, from Stirling Castle to The Colosseum in Rome, Italy in 2023, raising £35,000 for the charity in the process. A fundraiser through endurance challenges for over 25 years, I won the Charitable Contribution Award at the Central FM Local Hero Awards in 2023.

I also volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland, providing counsel and support to those who have suffered loss.

I have lived in Bridge of Allan for the last 9 years with my wife Ally and our dog Hudson.
