For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Carlisle is one English town with a "muckle bell". If you click here, that will link you to a web-page which offers further information. Once there, scroll down to the section headed 'The Guildhall'.
Carlisle's a 'city' by one of the old definitions...ie it contains a cathedral. However, as Eli says above, 'muckle' is the Scottish version of the English word 'mickle', both meaning 'big'. Accordingly, if it isn't Carlisle, it must be somewhere reasonably close by. And I don't know any such place with a bell specifically called the 'muckle' one! Cheers
