Clackmannan County
Clackmannanshire was the smallest county
in Scotland and included the burghs of Alloa, Alva, Dollar and Tillicoultry;
and the inhabited island of Alloa Inch. Clackmannan County Council
was established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, taking
over powers from the Commissioners of Supply, County Road Trust,
and other local authorities. The county boundary (between Clackmannanshire
and the counties of Perth and Stirling) was substantially altered
by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891. The County Council was abolished
in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973, and the former
county became part of Central Region. The present Clackmannanshire
Council was formed in 1995 and took over the functions of the former
Central Regional Council and Clackmannan District Council.
