Bridge of Allan is also home to the University of Stirling which has a sports centre and the MacRoberts Arts Centre with a theatre and cinema, all available for public use and within walking distance of Wellpark.

Stirling, 4 miles to the south, is the major town of central Scotland. In the middle ages Stirling was the seat of the Kings of Scotland and the town is famous for William Wallace who fought the English in Stirling in the 13th Century. Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument rise high above the town and are evocative of its historic past. The modern day town provides a full range of shops and services including a range of superstores off the A91 on the eastern edge of the town which can be reached directly from Bridge of Allan.
