Tillicoultry
Tillicoultry (population 5,900) is a community in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Tillicoultry is generally described as Tilly by the locals. One of the Hillfoots Villages on the A91, which runs from Stirling to St. Andrews, Tillicoultry is positioned at the southern base of the Ochil Hills, which supply an amazing backdrop. The River Devon lies to the south. The river also runs through neighbouring villages Dollar as well as Alva to the eastern and west specifically. The former mining village of Coalsnaughton exists just south, whilst Alloa lies 4 mi southwest. The "hill" described in the first etymology is likely to be Kirkhill, at the eastern of the town. The alternate Latin etymology, Tellus culta, the grown land, recommended by Rev. William Osborne, priest of the church from 1773 to 1794, is likewise feasible. Nonetheless, as both etymologies might equally be applied to a hundred locations in Scotland, both are suspicious, as neither define the community in an one-of-a-kind fashion.
