Tillicoultry
Tillicoultry (population 5,900) is a town in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Tillicoultry is usually described as Tilly by the residents. One of the Hillfoots Towns on the A91, which ranges from Stirling to St. Andrews, Tillicoultry is situated at the southern base of the Ochil Hills, which give a spectacular backdrop. The River Devon lies to the south. The river likewise runs through neighbouring villages Dollar and also Alva to the east and also west specifically. The previous mining town of Coalsnaughton lies just south, whilst Alloa lies 4 mi southwest. The "hill" referred to in the first etymology is most likely to be Kirkhill, at the eastern of the community. The alternative Latin etymology, Tellus culta, the grown land, recommended by Rev. William Osborne, priest of the church from 1773 to 1794, is also possible. Nevertheless, as both etymologies might similarly be applied to a hundred areas in Scotland, both are suspicious, as neither define the community in a special fashion.
