Map of the UK

Coalsnaughton is a small former mining village in western Clackmannanshire, Scotland, set on the lower slopes of the Ochil Hills in the line of Hillfoots communities and within easy reach of Dollar, Alloa and Stirling. Its elevated position gives good access to hillwalking, forestry tracks and broad views across the Forth Valley, and the surrounding landscape still carries traces of its industrial past.

Originally built around 19th‑century coal workings, the village’s name reflects that heritage; today it combines a quiet, close‑knit community with commuting into nearby towns, small local enterprises and outdoor recreation. The mix of mining history, nearby attractions such as Castle Campbell and active conservation and community groups gives Coalsnaughton a character that blends industrial memory with rural leisure.
