OS1/8/3/1 [Page] 1 Clackmannan, a town in the above parish, formerly the County town. but the County business is now all done at Alloa as seen hereafter. On each side of the town of Clackmannan the ground has a gradual descent, but towards the West where the old Tower of Clackmannan is placed, it is bold and rocky. The surrounding scenery, as beheld from this tower is exceedingly picturesque and beautiful. The foreground is filled by the Forth, here a mile in breadth, and 3 miles farther down expanding into a wide sheet of water resembling a large inland lake, which is called the Firth of Forth from the junction of the boundary (on the river Forth) between the parishes of Tulliallan and Clackmannan. The tower or Keep - now the property of the Earl of Zetland - is all that now remains of the castle or palace of Robert Bruce, in which that monarch is said to have resided sometime previous to the battle of Bannockburn. Till very lately the sword and helmet of the illustrious Bruce were kept here; they are now in the possession of the Earl of Elgin, at Broomhall, in Fifeshire, to whom the widow of Robert Bruce, Esq bequeathed them. In the middle of the principal street stands a ruin which was once the prison and town house. The County of Clackmannan consists of the parishes of Clackmannan, Dollar, Tillioultry, Alloa and three separate parts of the parish of L[ogie] one of these parts, together with a portion of Stirling parish, form a detached part of the County of Clackmannan.

Its external appearance, although handsome, is not fitted to convey an adequate impression of the internal elegance by which it is characterized. The existing proprietor and his excellent lady being in general resident, Kennet House is the scene of much hospitality to the rich, and of the most liberal charity to the poor. The reverend and venerable Thomas Boston of Ettrick, did, in his youth, officiate for a time at Kennet, in the capacity of tutor. Under the shadow of a particular pear tree in the retired orchard, he was in the habit of engaging in those exercises by which he might be fitted and prepared for working that work which his Heavenly Father might give him to do. By those individuals about the place who sympathised with the spirit which animated Boston, the pear tree was long viewed with a peculiar interest. When, at length, the symptoms of decay and dissolution became strikingly apparent, the present proprietor resolved to cause a chest to be made of the timber of its root, that he might present it with [continued on page 54]
