Menstrie (Scottish Gaelic: ) is a village in the county of Clackmannanshire in Scotland. It is about east-northeast of Stirling and is one of a string of towns that, because of their location at the foothill base of the Ochil Hills, are collectively referred to as the Hillfoots Villages or simply The Hillfoots.
Coalsnaughton
Coalsnaughton or Calabar (from ) is a village in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is just south of Tillicoultry, in whose parish the village lies. The miners' row was built by Robert Bald. The name was recorded as Cosnachtan in 1492 and is probably named after Nechtan mac Der-Ilei, a Pictish king. As a result of the mining industry in the town, the first syllable got interpreted as "Coals". This then got re-interpreted by some Gaelic speakers as having come from Gaelic caolas "strait".
Muckhart
Muckhart () commonly refers to two small villages in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Pool of Muckhart () and '''Yetts o' Muckhart'. Muckhart is one of the Hillfoots Villages, situated on the A91 around northeast of Dollar. The Gaelic name, Muc-àird, comes from muc ("pig") + àird'' ("height"), and may derive from the fact that the surrounding fields may once have been used for pig farming.
