Description
The Clackmannan Tolbooth is a historic building with a belfry tower that was constructed around 1680, representing the surviving west end of the tolbooth originally built in 1592. The structure is approximately square in plan and made of buff-coloured rubble with sandstone dressings and grey off-set quoins. The plain walls rise to a moulded cornice, and the roof features an ogival spire topped with a weathercock. The south wall has a door, while the lower stages include rectangular openings and round arched openings at the belfry stage. There are clock faces, likely from the 19th century, on the east and west sides. The gable wall has strip quoins.
The Clackmannan Market Cross, believed to date from the 17th century, features a square stone shaft with chamfered corners that tapers at the bottom and has a trefoil capital. The east and west faces of the capital display weathered coats of arms, including the chief and saltire of the Bruce of Clackmannan, with the east side still partially visible. The ball finial is a replacement from either 1887 or 1897. The cross stands on an octagonal eight-coursed stone base, which replaced similar steps in 2007, and the second step from the top on the south side is inscribed 'MMVII'.
The Clackmannan Stone, believed to date from the third or second millennium BC, was broken into pieces early on and bound together with iron rods. It is supported by a massive irregularly shaped whinstone block that was erected in 1833.
