Clackmannan
Clackmannan is a town and civil parish set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Positioned within the Forth Valley, Clackmannan is 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometres) south-east of Alloa and 3.2 miles (5.1 km) south of Tillicoultry. The community is within the region of Clackmannanshire, of which it was formerly the county town, until Alloa overtook it in size as well as significance. According to a 2009 quote the population of the settlement of Clackmannan is 3,348 locals. The name of the town refers to the Stone of Manau or Stone of Mannan, a pre-Christian monolith that can be seen in the community square next to the Tolbooth or Tollbooth Tower, which dates from 1592. During the 12th century, the location developed part of the lands controlled by the abbots of Cambuskenneth. Later it ended up being associated with the Bruce family, who, during the 14th century, constructed a tactical tower-house. It still stands above the community according to Historic Scotland, however access is restricted (because of decrease). A crater on asteroid 253 Mathilde is called after Clackmannan. Since Mathilde is a dark, carbonaceous body, its craters have been called after famous coalfields from throughout the globe. The Clackmannan Group is the name provided to a suite of rocks of late Dinantian as well as Namurian age set during the Carboniferous duration in the Midland Valley of Scotland. The war memorial was created by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1919.
