Tullibody is a small town of approximately 8,500 residents in Clackmannanshire. The nearest towns are Alloa (in which parish the town lies), two miles to the south-east; and the city of Stirling, five miles to the west.
Tullibody is a former mining town, although neither that industry nor any other major employers have a presence in the town, with many of the residents now commuting to Stirling and Alloa to work. Since the late 1990s and early 2000s, there has been a rapid expansion in housebuilding in the town, with 400 new houses built on the north side of the village in the five years.
