Tillicoultry
Tillicoultry (population 5,900) is a town in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Tillicoultry is typically described as Tilly by the citizens. 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 background. The River Devon exists to the south. The river also runs through neighbouring villages Dollar and also Alva to the eastern as well as west respectively. The previous mining town of Coalsnaughton exists just southern, whilst Alloa lies 4 mi southwest. The "hill" described in the initial etymology is likely to be Kirkhill, at the east of the town. The alternate Latin etymology, Tellus culta, the cultivated land, suggested by Rev. William Osborne, minister of the parish from 1773 to 1794, is additionally possible. Nonetheless, as both etymologies can similarly be put on a hundred locations in Scotland, both are suspect, as neither specify the town in an unique fashion.
