Discover the rich history of Clackmannan, Scotland, as depicted in old maps from the Victorian period. In the Philips Handy Atlas of 1882 and the Old County Map of Stirling and Clackmannan Scotland 1847, Clackmannan is shown as a county with a unique character. During this time, Clackmannan was known for its "Burning Waste," a peat fire that had been burning continuously for centuries. The extinction of this natural phenomenon was a significant event, as shown in the engraving "The Extinction of 'The Burning Waste of Clackmannan.' In 1878, Mr. Gurney's machinery was brought in to put an end to the fire, marking a new chapter in Clackmannan's history. The area's past is also marked by political milestones, such as the first cricket match played in Scotland, which took place in Clackmannan in 1785. Today, Clackmannan is part of the modern Falkirk area, as shown on the FK10 4 map. Reflect on the past and present of this fascinating Scottish county.
