Clackmannan

Clackmannan (Scottish Gaelic: Clach Mhanainn, meaning "Stone of Manau"), is a small town set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Situated within the Forth Valley, Clackmannan is 1.8 miles (2.9 km) south-east of Alloa and 3.2 miles (5.1 km) south of Tillicoultry. The town is part of the Clackmannanshire council area and was formerly the county town of the county of Clackmannan which is Scotland's smallest.
According to a 2009 estimate the population of the settlement of Clackmannan is 3,348 residents
The name of the town refers to the Stone of Mannan, a pre-Christian monument which can be seen in the town square, beside the Tollbooth Tower, which dates from the 16th century.
During the 12th century, the area formed part of the lands controlled by the abbots of Cambuskenneth. Later it became associated with the Bruce family. During the 14th century they built a strategic tower-house, which survives to this day above the town (Historic Scotland; can only be viewed from the outside due to subsidence).
The Stone of Manau
"The stone or clack, originally placed at the foot of Lookabootye Brae, was sacred to the the pre-Christian deity, Mannan, and is an unique relic of pagan times. It was raised on the large shaft in 1833."
"The seagod, Manau, is linked with the mythology of the Isle of Man. The "large shaft" is itself, apparently, an old standing stone. St Serf founded a church in Clackmannan in c680 AD, which has been replaced several times since then, but the Stone of Manau remains. Of course, the story may be fanciful, and there are less colourful explanations for the name of the town".
