10.2.3 Historic Scotland also provided descriptions of certain key assets including Clackmannan
Tower, Dunmore Park and the Pineapple. Historic Scotland noted that it wished to see
photomontages looking south and west from Clackmannan Tower and from the entrance drive
to Dunmore Park/The Pineapple designed landscapes. These photomontages are provided
within this chapter with the exception of a view looking west from Clackmannan tower. This has
been replaced by a view looking towards Clackmannan Tower from Stirling Castle which
provides an indication of the setting of Clackmannan Tower in this direction.
10.2.4 Clackmannanshire Council responded on 14 June 2010. The Council noted that the ES should
address the comments made by Historic Scotland in its scoping response of 3 February 2010.
In addition, it recommended early pre-application consultation with Historic Scotland and the
Regional Archaeologist at Stirling Council. The Council also noted that the Scottish Historic
Environment Policy (SHEP) should be considered.
