Tillicoultry Parish Church
description: This elaborate and unusual church was designed by William Stirling to replace its predecessor, built in 1773 on a site a little to the east. Much of the stone from the earlier structure was probably used to build the new church. Built in neo-Perpendicular style, the church features buttresses to the sides of each bay which end in impressively tall, pointed finials. Stirling’s original design may have included a spire or tower, but it was never built. The octagonal bellcote over the north entrance houses a bell cast in Rotterdam in 1670 by Cornelius Ouderogge; this was removed from the medieval church which stood further north on Kirk Hill, refitted in its 18th century successor, then moved again to its present location. A horseshoe-shaped gallery was replaced in 1920 by a single gallery. The fine, three-light stained glass window of 1924 by Douglas Strachan was installed in memory of the Rev Joseph Conn. The kirkyard contains several interesting and elaborate gravestones, many of which were restored as part of the Historic Kirkyards Trail project of the Ochils Landscape Partnership programme. They shed light on the inhabitants of Tillicoultry as it developed into an industrial town, with many textile mills.

Tour : The Clydebank Blitz
description: A BUS TOUR with David Carson. Saturday the 10th September at 10:30am and 2:30pm. Meet at the Clydebank Town Hall. Duration 1.5 hrs. Booking required. Phone the Clydebank Library at : 0141 562 2440 This tour highlights the Blitz, but also takes in some of the history of the shipyards and even sewing machines. Clydebank has been transformed into a very different place, but it had been a very important shipbuilding centre. And that attracted the German bombers during WWII. The Luftwaffe carried out air raids on the shipyards and town in March 1941. The town was largely destroyed and it suffered the worst destruction and civilian loss of life in all of Scotland. 528 people died, 617 people were seriously injured, and hundreds more were injured by blast debris. Out of approximately 12,000 houses, only seven remained undamaged with 4,000 completely destroyed and 4,500 severely damaged. Over 35,000 people were made homeless. Clydebank's production of ships and munitions made it a target. A total of 439 bomber dropped over 1,000 bombs. RAF fighters managed to shoot down two aircraft during the raid, but none were brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Today Clydebank is again a thriving town albeit very different. But there are still signs of the Blitz - if you know where to look.
