Clackmannanshire, Council area and lieutenancy in east-central Scotland

Located on the northern bank of the River Forth, Clackmannanshire extends to the Ochil Hills and includes settlements like Alloa and Clackmannan.

The region became part of Central Region in 1975 before transitioning to one of Scotland's 32 unitary council areas during the 1996 reorganization.

The county name derives from Scottish Gaelic elements referencing the Stone of Mannan, connecting the area to pre-Christian traditions.

The reopening of Alloa railway station in 2008 restored direct rail connections to Edinburgh and Glasgow through the national railway network.

Known as 'The Wee County', Clackmannanshire holds the distinction of being the smallest historic county in Britain with 61 square miles.
