'Clack-Mannan' NS 911 918 NS99SW 6
The name Clackmannan derives from the clach, or stone, of Manau, apparently a district of the tribe of Gododdin, the post-Roman descendants of the Votadini. The stone in question is a boulder (about 1m by 0.8m and 0.4m thick) which was placed in its present position outside Clackmannan Tolbooth, and on the top of a tall unworked stone brought from the Abbey Craig, near Cambuskenneth, in 1833.
