Kennet is a small former coal-mining village in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is located south-east of Clackmannan, by the Kincardine railway line. The village is a conservation area, designated by Clackmannanshire Council.[1]
Kennet House, the seat of the Bruces of Kennet, was located to the west of the village . The house was built or rebuilt in the 1790s for the judge Robert Bruce, Lord Kennet. His descendant, the politician and banker Alexander Bruce, established a claim to the forfeited title of Lord Balfour of Burleigh in 1868. The house was demolished in 1967.[2]
Between 1905 and 1961, coal was mined at the Brucefield Colliery, located just to the north of Kennet . In 1948, 75,000 tons of coal were extracted. A brickworks on the site continued to operate into the 1960s.[3]
