Earrann was our quarterly 12-page newspaper that finished publication in spring 2008. The newspaper started in 1999 and we managed 27 editions. Some of the articles related to the social history and heritage of Arnprior. A small selection of these will soon be available on this page.
Local enterprise
Farming is the main business in Arnprior and the local garage services and repairs agricultural vehicles and equipment.

Tourism is important for the Stirling economy and there is accommodation in and around the area which caters for visitors. There are a few local websites
Thorntree Barn
Fordhead Farm
Dykehead House cottages
Faraway Country House
and you will find more information for the wider area at  visitscotland

Shops?  Yes!  A new one called the Hair Lounge and an established firm of furniture retailers both on the main road in the village -  the Steven Burgess website alone is worth a visit

Arnprior is not large enough for a big public event but we have plenty of neighbours who hold regular annual shows and races. Many of the events have their own website so check them out for more information. The area is also well known for cycling club on-road races. These were the 2009 dates.
Fancy a swim?  The nearest simming pool is at Balfron High school (7 miles) but public use is a bit limited during term time.  There is also the pool at the McClaren Leisure Centre in Callendar (12 miles) which has more scope for public swimming as well as being used by the school.  Both locations have a suite of other indoor facilities to help you keep fit.  Don't forget the Paths page for local walks and rides. 
Gone fishing
There are a few places managed for angling by private clubs, such as the Mill Dam, a small loch that was originally designed to supply the Arnprior Mill.
