Clackmannan Tower
The castle, Clackmannan Tower, stands at the summit of King's Seat Hill in open fields some way clear of the uphill edge of the town itself. What you find is a magnificent tower house built of golden stone, five storeys high. It was built by David II in the 1300s before being sold to a relative, Robert Bruce, in 1359.
