Clackmannan
Clackmannan
is situated near the north bank of the River Forth, 2 miles
East of Alloa. The Clackmannan Tower is now a picturesque
ruin, but at one time played an important part in Scottish
history, and was the seat of a lineal descendant of the Bruce
family after the failure of the male line. The old market
cross still exists, and close to it stands the stone that
gives the town its name (Gaelic, clack, stone; Manann, the
name of the district).
