These date, indeed, from the days of Queen Mary, and long made Tillicoultry serges and blankets famous throughout Scotland; but the weaving of tartans and shawls was not introduced till 1824, and the manufacture of tweeds and silk fabrics is of still later origin.
Antiquities are remains of a Caledonian stone-circle on the SE end of the Kirk Craig, and of a circular fort on the basaltic eminence of Castle Craig.
Tillicoultry is in the presbytery of Dunblane and the synod of Perth and Stirling; the living is worth upwards of £400.

 Sterling Furniture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was founded in 1974 by Stirling-based furniture retailer George Knowles, who based its concept on the out-of-town retail developments which had been successful in the United States.
Knowles later expanded the complex to include a Homestore Outlet and garden centre, and built the Sterling Mills outlet mall in disused factory buildings adjacent to the furniture warehouse.
Their television advertisements, starring Scottish football commentator Dougie Donnelly have become part of popular culture, together with the phrase "Tillicoutry near Stirling" (even though Tillicoultry is 10 miles east of Stirling).
