From the Wikipedia article
Kippen is a village in west Stirlingshire, Scotland. It lies between the Gargunnock Hills and the Fintry Hills and overlooks the Carse of Forth to the north. The village is 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of Stirling and 20 mi (32 km) north of Glasgow. It is 4+1⁄2 mi (7 km) south-east of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, Scotland's first National Park. The village lies on the line of an eighteenth-century military road between Stirling and Balloch, although a bypass around the village was built in 1971 meaning Kippen no longer lies on the A811. According to the 2001 census, the population of Kippen was 1,140.

Background
Description
Kippen hosts an annual gala called the "Street Fayre", which brings tourists to the village, helping boost the local economy and raise funds for charities. This event features a range of food, bric-a-brack and charity stalls which line the main street and, elsewhere, musical events. As of 2013, the Street Fayre is officially opened by the Fayre Queen and King who are chosen randomly from pupils at Kippen Primary school.
