The passengers of Menstrie when processed woollen from lamb farmed on the Ochils. In 1800, business people from Tullibody set up a carding and rotating mill on the east side of the Menstrie Burn to manipulate its soft water and power, missing from their very own village.

This signed up with the old North British Railway (N.B.R.) line between Alloa and also Stirling at Cambus. Menstrie had its very own passenger station at the North end of Tullibody Road. Almost nothing of the station stays and the railway branch line, which remained to carry freight after the Beeching Axe, came under disuse throughout the mid-1980s in favour of road transportation.

The whisky and yeast companies are currently run by different firms, specifically Diageo, (followers to Distillers Company) and Kerry Group. The latter performs item advancement in addition to producing at the Menstrie site. Elmbank Mill, Menstrie in March 2010. The Forthvale Mill no more stands but the Elmbank Mill, having actually been used for some years as workplaces by the Water Board, currently houses small companies.

In the mid-20th Century, Menstrie (pop. 1200 - 1300) was residence to families whose menfolk worked the Clackmannanshire Coalfield as well as other mines in Central Scotland.
