Clackmannan

Ancient town in Clackmannanshire unitary authority, Scotland, on the River Devon, 3 km/2 mi east of Alloa; population (2001) 3,500. It was the former county capital, and the ancestral seat of the Bruces. Traditional Scottish architecture is represented in the stone and lime structures of Clackmannan Tower, Tolbooth, and Mercat Cross.

Clack-mannan, the ‘stone of Manau’, which stands beside the Tolbooth, is associated with Manau, a Dark Ages territory located around the upper reaches of the Firth of Forth.

All night, then, we walked through the north side of the Carse under the high line of the Ochil mountains; and by Alloa and Clackmannan and Culross, all of which we avoided: and about ten in the morning, mighty hungry and tired, came to the little clachan of Limekilns.
