Abbey, a village of Clackmannanshire, on the left bank of the river Forth, 1¼ mile ENE of Stirling. It is, in some respects, in the parish of Stirling: in others, in that of Logie: and it takes its name from the neighbouring abbey of Cambuskenneth. It communicates, by ferry-boat, with the Stirling bank of the Forth, and has a public school, which, with accommodation for 48 children, had (1879) an average attendance of 38, and a grant of £31, 10s. Pop. (1881) 217.
