In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Raploch like this:
Raploch, a village in Stirling parish, Stirlingshire, adjacent to the Forth and Clyde railway, immediately under the NW side of Stirling Castle, ¾ mile W of Stirling Bridge, and within the parliamentary burgh. It was the birthplace of Dugald Graham (1724-79), the author of a rhyming History of the Rebellion. See Glasgow, p. 144.
