All 3 subjects in the title of the photograph are Category A listed buildings on Main Street, Clackmannan. Clackmannan Tolbooth: Dating originally from the 1590s with the tower added c.1680, the remains of the sandstone tolbooth consist of the west gable and bell-tower. Clackmannan Market Cross: The stone cross probably dates from the 17th century. It stands on an octagonal stone stepped base which replaced similar steps in 2007. Clackmannan Stone: Also known as the Stone of Mannan, the curious-looking Clackmannan Stone (between the tolbooth and the cross) is probably about 4000 years old. Details of the listing of all 3 buildings can be found in https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200406616-clackmannan-main-street-tolbooth-clackmannan#.WdT8pjGWw5s
