County Population: 49

Known as the 'Wee County', Clackmannanshire only occupies an area of about 160 sq km (62 sq miles). The county's landscape is dominated by the steep-sided Ochil Hills in the north, with many deep-cut glens running southeast to join the lowlands bordering the Firth of Forth.
The fast-running streams that flow down the glens to join the Devon, the main river of Clackmannanshire, provided the power that in the 18th century turned the local production of wool textiles from a cottage industry into one of the major focuses of Scotland's textile industry.
Three quarters of the county is given over to agricultural, and much of the land is part of the wooded Trossachs National Park, a popular tourist destination. The main town of Alloa is known for its textile production, including plaids, tartans, and tweeds, but is also a centre for brewing and glass making.
