Clackmannanshire's motto is "Look aboot ye" which is what Bruce allegedly told his men when he lost his glove in Clackmannan. Clackmannan Tower belonged to the Bruce family. Robert Burns visited there and was "knighted" by the lady of the house (I think). The hill down from Clackmannan to the carse is called the "Look about ye" Brae.

No ancient rituals on Wednesday, though.

The stone has strong powers, I believe it to be a fertility thingy!!!! Last year I looked at to see a crowd singing around it, they probably all have babies now ;) I made a model of it and was thinking about making them as souvineers but had second thoughts!!!! This house would have been here when Robbie Burns visited as it dates back to 1730

I remember playing round about the toolboth as a kid Sandy. I slipped on pigeon s**t, ripped my first day on trousers and ended up with 4 stitches in my knee and I still have the scar on my knee all these many years later.

See, I told you it had strong powers, my Ex came up here and fell off his bike ;) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/812/ Found that Clackmannan was once an Island, the strange thing is a lot of Scotland history is based around this area, you have only to watch Braveheart to find the battle took place very close by, I also found Black Adders Castle and the family Morsolium near too!!!! An Historical place that is indeed strange..suits me and my partner!!
