Tillicoultry House tombstone is a burial monument located in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM2328. The stone stands on bedrock of the Scottish Coal Measures Group, a Moscovian-age geological formation comprising mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone and ferricrete. This underlying geology reflects the area's significant coal-mining heritage, which shaped settlement and economic activity in the region from the medieval period onwards.
The tombstone itself represents a form of memorial typical of Scottish burial practice, marking an individual or family grave. Such monuments are important records of local history, genealogy and changing commemorative customs. The site's survival and protection recognises its value as both a physical artefact and a landscape feature contributing to understanding of Clackmannanshire's communities and their traditions.
The monument's location within the Coal Measures bedrock underscores the relationship between geology, resource extraction and human settlement in central Scotland. Preserved as a scheduled monument, Tillicoultry House tombstone remains a visible connection to the area's past, anchored in both the stone beneath and the stone raised above ground to honour the dead.
