Clackmannan is a small town and civil parish set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Located within the Forth Valley, Clackmannan is 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometres) south-east of Alloa and also 3.2 miles (5.1 kilometres) south of Tillicoultry. The community is within the area of Clackmannanshire, of which it was formerly the county town, up until Alloa surpassed it in dimension and also importance. According to a 2009 estimate the population of the negotiation of Clackmannan is 3,348 residents. The name of the community 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 location developed part of the lands controlled by the abbots of Cambuskenneth. Later on it ended up being associated with the Bruce family members, who, during the 14th century, constructed a strategic tower-house. It still stands above the community according to Historic Scotland, but access is forbidden (as a result of subsidence). A crater on asteroid 253 Mathilde is named after Clackmannan. Due to the fact that Mathilde is a dark, carbonaceous body, its craters have been called after renowned coalfields from throughout the globe. The Clackmannan Group is the name given to a suite of rocks of late Dinantian and also Namurian age laid down during the Carboniferous period in the Midland Valley of Scotland. The war memorial was made by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1919.
