Nestled at the foot of the Ochil Hills, Tillicoultry takes its name from its location. The name comes from the Gaelic meaning "at the foot of the hills". It is one of the Hillfoot Villages in Clackmannanshire, often called the Wee County, and has a population of about 5000. The surrounding hills provide a most scenic backdrop for the town. It lies along the A91, so you won’t have a problem driving to this picturesque town from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Perth. It is only about 25 miles away from either of these cities. It was once the site of many woollen and textile mills, but these have long since closed. It was here the famous Patons mills produced the many different brands of wool well known to knitters all over the world. Today the only textile mill here is Daiglen, which still manufactures tartan.
