Tillicoultry
Tillicoultry (population 5,900) is a town in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Tillicoultry is generally described as Tilly by the citizens. One of the Hillfoots Towns on the A91, which ranges from Stirling to St. Andrews, Tillicoultry is located at the southerly base of the Ochil Hills, which offer an amazing background. The River Devon exists to the south. The river likewise runs through neighbouring villages Dollar and also Alva to the eastern and also west respectively. The previous mining town of Coalsnaughton lies simply southern, whilst Alloa lies 4 mi southwest. The "hill" referred to in the first etymology is likely to be Kirkhill, at the eastern of the community. The alternate Latin etymology, Tellus culta, the grown land, suggested by Rev. William Osborne, minister of the parish from 1773 to 1794, is also possible. However, as both etymologies could similarly be put on a hundred areas in Scotland, both are suspect, as neither define the community in a distinct fashion.
