River Devon

Clackmannanshire villages are often located at the foot of the mountains, known as the Ochil Hills. These are usually found next to a river or stream that flows down the glen or valley beside the village, as the water would have originally given rise to the town, with a ready supply of drinking water. Today, these are quiet villages with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

The river that passes through Tillicoultry is not as big as that of Dollar, but it is just as pretty and quite a bit quieter. We can see the way it leads into Mill Glen. It is most attractive during the post-winter thaw, when the water falls harder and makes for a more dramatic image.
