Kennet is a small former coal-mining village in Clackmannanshire, Scotland.

It is located 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) south-east of Clackmannan, by the Kincardine railway line.

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.

[2] Between 1905 and 1961, coal was mined at the Brucefield Colliery, located just to the north of Kennet (grid reference NS928913).
