The population of the parish has decreased considerably,
with in the last thirty years, from two causes, viz. from
the common practice of throwing two or three small farms into
one; but chiefly, from the Dunmore colliery having been given
up. There are two villages, Airth and Dunmore. The population
of the former is 850; and of the latter, 246. Population in the
country, 754.
