More information about Tillicoultry
Tillicoultry is a quaint market town situated in Clackmannanshire, Scotland in the United Kingdom. Since the early 1700's, Tillicoultry has grown considerably but has still managed to maintain its small-town atmosphere and charm. The Tillicoultry Quoiting Club and the Sma'Foof Festivals which take place twice a year are among the highlights of local attractions that Tillicoultry has to offer.
Tillicoultry's connection to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport are deeply rooted in its history and the town has a long-standing reputation for producing some of the finest automobiles in the world. In addition to its strong current links to the car industry and the finance industry, the town's connection to motorsport has recently been bolstered with the opening of a new race track in Tillicoultry in 2021. This adds to existing car clubs and race tracks located within the area, as well as a local motorsport centre which own several race cars and offer racing lessons for enthusiasts.
In its demographic composition, Tillicoultry consists primarily of white British residents of which the largest age group is the over 50's. Of those, females make up the majority at 57%. That said, those aged between 16-24 years old make up the second biggest group, at 23% of the population.
The majority of private dwellings in the area are owner occupied (84%) and the majority of public dwellings (which make up 13% of properties in the area) are social housing dwellings. Home ownership amongst Tillicoultry's population is significantly higher than the national average and of that, 28% are outright owners and 54% hold a mortgage, according to the 2011 UK Census.
The average income for individuals in Tillicoultry is below the UK average and the largest employment sector is the manufacturing industry which makes up 17% of the workforce. This indicates that the car, finance and motorsport industries play an important role in the local economy.
Tillicoultry's car industry history can be traced back to the 1720s when local resident David Christie founded a small coach building firm in Tillicoultry. Christie's firm quickly rose to national fame and became one of the leaders in the British car industry. Christie's manufactures produced a range of luxury cars including a four-seater sedan, a van and a limousine. After Christie passed away in 1751, his son, George, took over the family business and continued to build a reputation as a designer and manufacturer of luxury cars, which became increasingly popular throughout the 19th century.
The Christie name was further cemented in the car industry locally, when in the early twentieth century, two local brothers, John and William Christie, set up their own company, Christie Motors. The Christie Motors factory was based in Tillicoultry and was the first car factory in the area to produce its own vehicles. Christie Motors produced a range of cars for domestic and export use, and the company flourished.
Until 1971, the local car industry was dominated by Christie Motors and it was during this period that Tillicoultry established itself as a hub for automotive engineering and finance. Local car manufacturing and finance firms invested heavily in the area and the town grew rapidly. This increased demand for employment and labour and saw an increase in the town's population, with many of the factory workers coming from the surrounding areas.
In the early 2000s, Tillicoultry's connection to the car industry began to weaken as global competition became increasingly fierce. Several of the town's car manufacturing firms had already closed due to the competitive nature of the industry and the increasing cost of production. Despite the waning of the car industry, Tillicoultry's links to the finance industry remain strong. The town is home to several banks, accounting firms and insurance companies, as well as a number of financial services providers.
Tillicoultry's links to motorsport also remain strong. Several racing clubs in the area regularly hold race nights at a new race track in the town, for both adults and juniors. Motorsport enthusiasts can take advantage of the facilities at the Motorsport Centre in Tillicoultry, which offers services such as driving lessons, car racing and repairs.
In recent years, Tillicoultry has seen a resurgence in growth and development as a result of investment in the area by both the public and private sector. The town has developed significantly over the past few decades and is now firmly established as a hub for the car, finance and motorsport industries.
The demographic shift has seen more families moving into the local area and contributing to the town's thriving cultural life. The presence of the car industry, the finance industry and motorsport enhances the town's appeal, making Tillicoultry a great place to live and visit.
