Alloa is south of the Ochil Hills, east of Stirling and north of Falkirk; by water Alloa is from Granton.

The towns are now distinct, albeit with Lornshill in the middle, and Alloa is about twice the si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Albion Rovers F
Albion is an alternative name for Great Britain. The oldest attestation of the toponym comes from the Greek language. It is sometimes used poetically and generally to refer to the island, but is less common than 'Britain' today. The name for Scotland in most of the Celtic languages is related to Albion: ''Alba'' in Scottish Gaelic, ''Albain'' (genitive ''Alban'') in Irish, ''Nalbin'' in Manx and ''Alban'' in Welsh and Cornish. These names were later Latinised as ''Albania'' and Anglicised as ''Albany'', which were once alternative names for Scotland. ''New Albion'' and ''Albionoria'' ("Albion of the North") were briefly suggested as names of Canada during the period of the Canadian Confederation. Sir Francis Drake gave the name New Albion to what is now California when he landed there in 1579. Etymology The toponym is thought to derive from the Greek word , Latinised as (genitive ).
