The smallest County of Scotland,
extending 10 miles N. and S. between the main body of Perthshire and
the river Forth, and 11 miles E. and W. between the counties of
Stirling and Fife; area, 30,477 ac.The surface rises from the Forth
by an easy ascent, broken by gentle undulations and by the valley of
the river Devon, to the Ochil Hills.
These hills afford excellent pasturage;
the low grounds are well cultivated. Coal is raised in the Devon
valley; the towns of Alloa and Tillicoultry have woollen mfrs. The
Co. comprises 4 pars., parts of 2 other pars.
An adjustment was made by the Boundary Commission in 1891.
Previously the county contained four parishes: Alloa, Clackmannan,
Dollar and Tillicoultry and portions of Logie and Stirling.
The Clackmannanshire portion of Stirling
parish was transferred to Stirlingshire. The Clackmannan portion of
Logie parish was divided into three parts. One was transferred to
the Stirlingshire parish of Logie; a second was united with the
parish of Alva, which was wholly given to Clackmannanshire; while
the third part was absorbed by the parish of Alloa.
