Clackmannan
Tower
Clackmannan
Tower is situated in the town of the same name, six or seven miles
from Stirling, and two from Alloa. The tower belonged to David
II, who gifted it in 1859 to his cousin Robert Bruce, in the possession
of whose descendants it remained until 1791. King Robert Bruce
is also said to have resided here, and his sword and helmet were
preserved in the tower until the Bruce family died out, when they
were transferred to the Earl of Elgin, as the nearest of kin.
The old Jacobito lady, Mrs. Bruce, who knighted Robert Burns with
the sword of Bruce, resided here. If
