Tillicoultry
Tillicoultry (population 5,900) is a community in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Tillicoultry is normally referred to as Tilly by the locals. One of the Hillfoots Villages on the A91, which ranges from Stirling to St. Andrews, Tillicoultry is located at the southern base of the Ochil Hills, which provide a spectacular backdrop. The River Devon lies to the south. The river also runs through neighbouring villages Dollar and also Alva to the eastern as well as west specifically. The former mining village of Coalsnaughton exists simply south, whilst Alloa lies 4 mi southwest. The "hill" referred to in the very first etymology is most likely to be Kirkhill, at the east of the town. The alternative Latin etymology, Tellus culta, the grown land, suggested by Rev. William Osborne, minister of the church from 1773 to 1794, is likewise feasible. Nevertheless, as both etymologies could just as be applied to a hundred areas in Scotland, both are suspect, as neither specify the community in a special way.
