The house consists of two compartments, viz - the pump room & sale room. "The mineral spring now so celebrated, and so much resorted to by invalids, rises on the state of Airthrey, on the high grounds above the village of Bridge of Allan. It was discovered in the course of working the Airthrey copper mine, from the sole of which it springs". Statistical Acct. [Account] of Parish. "The mineral springs of Airthrey, though but recently applied to practical utility, had been known to exist from a remote period. The working of a copper mine on the Airthrey estate led to the discovery." *** "Of the many shafts which had doubtless been sunk since the Commencement of mining operations at Airthrey, only three are now visible. The first of these is opposite the Bath House; the second is now used from drawing up the water into the Well House; and the third is situated in the plantation, on the sloping bank, about three or four hundred yards" (continued on the other side) [continued on page 14] |
