About Coalsnaughton

Coalsnaughton is a small village in Clackmannanshire, situated between Tillicoultry and the Devon valley to the south, its name a direct reference to the coal mining industry that once dominated this part of central Scotland.

The mines closed during the 20th century, and Coalsnaughton has since become a quiet residential community with a compact layout typical of former mining villages.

The village has a primary school and is well placed for access to the larger towns of Tillicoultry and Alloa, with the surrounding countryside along the River Devon providing pleasant walking routes.

About Clackmannanshire

Clackmannanshire is the smallest council area in Scotland by land area, tucked between the Ochil Hills to the north and the River Forth to the south, with Stirling to the west and Fife across the water to the east.

Alloa is the county town and largest settlement, a former brewing centre on the north bank of the Forth, while a chain of hillfoot towns and villages — Tillicoultry, Alva, Menstrie, and Dollar — runs along the base of the Ochils to the north.

The county has a rich industrial heritage: textiles in the hillfoot towns, brewing in Alloa, and coal mining across the lowland parishes shaped the area through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

Despite its small size, Clackmannanshire packs in considerable variety — from the dramatic gorges and hill walks of the Ochils to the flat carseland of the Forth, from medieval tower houses to Victorian mill architecture.

The area is well connected, with the A91 running along the hillfoot corridor and rail services from Alloa to Stirling and onward to Glasgow, making it a practical base for commuters working across the central belt.
