Clackmannan
Clackmannan is a small town and also civil parish set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Located within the Forth Valley, Clackmannan is 1.8 miles (2.9 km) south-east of Alloa and also 3.2 miles (5.1 kilometres) south of Tillicoultry. The town is within the county of Clackmannanshire, of which it was formerly the county town, till Alloa surpassed it in size and relevance. According to a 2009 quote the population of the settlement of Clackmannan is 3,348 locals. The name of the town describes the Stone of Manau or Stone of Mannan, a pre-Christian monument that can be seen in the town square next to the Tolbooth or Tollbooth Tower, which dates from 1592. During the 12th century, the area formed part of the lands controlled by the abbots of Cambuskenneth. Later it became associated with the Bruce family members, that, during the 14th century, constructed a calculated tower-house. It still stands above the town according to Historic Scotland, but entry is restricted (as a result of subsidence). A crater on planet 253 Mathilde is named after Clackmannan. Since Mathilde is a dark, carbonaceous body, its craters have actually been named after popular coalfields from across the globe. The Clackmannan Team is the name offered to a collection of rocks of late Dinantian and also Namurian age laid down throughout the Carboniferous period in the Midland Valley of Scotland. The war memorial was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1919.
