1 review of Path of the Towers

the jewel in Clackmannanshire

Excellent

The Tower Route is the greatest attraction of the county or region of Clackmannanshire. It consists of various monuments, all dated between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The name comes from the fact that the majority were and are towers built by noble families (Erskine, Campbell, Bruce, and Alexander Schaw), partly for defense purposes, but mainly to be near Stirling Royal Court. However there are two castles between the towers, which were the most important and powerful centers on this route. The first Menstrie Castle and the second most important, the Campbell family castle. The towers that form these routes are: Sauchie Tower, Clackmannan Tower and the most impressive of all is Alloa Tower.
