Shepherd said: “This property is centrally positioned in an area that benefits from excellent connectivity via major road networks, including the A907 and A908, which serve as the key routes within the region. The site sits adjacent to the Mars Hill roundabout and the A907, a high-traffic route. Alloa’s train and bus stations are nearby, offering regular services to Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.”
