More about Boness Borrowstounness Falkirk
Bo'ness, originally Borrowstounness, is a small town
in the Falkirk council area of Scotland, lying on a
hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. Prior
to 1975 it was in the former county of West Lothian.
In the Roman period, it lay at the eastern end of the
Antonine Wall. The end of the wall probably lay in
modern Carriden, the eastern part of the town, where
Roman inscriptions have been found. It appears that the
fort there was named Veluniate. Other Roman sites have
been identified at Muirhouses (pronounced "Murrays") and
Kinglass on the south-east side of the town. Kinneil, in
the western part of Bo'ness, was mentioned by Bede, who
wrote that it was named Pennfahel ("Wall's end") in
Pictish and Penneltun in Old English.
The town was a recognised port from the 16th century; a
harbour was authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1707.
The harbour, constructed progressively during the 18th
century, was extended and complemented by a dry dock in
1881 (works designed by civil engineers Thomas Meik and
Patrick Meik). The commercial port (heavily used for the
transport of coal and pit props) eventually closed in
1959, badly affected by silting and the gradual downturn
of the Scottish coal-mining industry. Plans exist to
reopen the port.
Bo'ness was a site for coal mining from medieval times.
Clay mining was carried out on a smaller scale. The
shore was the site of industrial salt making,
evaporating sea water over coal fires. The town was home
to sizable potteries, one product being the black wally
dogs which sat in pairs over many fireplaces.
Metalworking is still carried out and the Bo'ness Iron
Company's drain covers are to be found in many far flung
places.
Bo'ness is now a commuter town, with many of its
residents travelling to work in Edinburgh or Glasgow.
The other main source of employment are the
petrochemical facilities located in nearby Grangemouth.
Present-day attractions in the town include the Bo'ness
& Kinneil Railway and the Birkhill Clay Mine. Kinneil
House, built by the powerful Hamilton family in the 15th
century, lies on the west edge of the town. In the
grounds are a cottage where James Watt lived and worked
and the boiler of a Newcomen engine engine he built.
Bo'ness, however, is set for major regeneration with the
announcement in November 2004 of a ?150m investment by
Dutch company ING to transform the harbour, docks and
foreshore with a marina, shopping and housing
development. Proposals can be seen on the Bo'ness web
site. The town centre is also set for a 're-vamp'
through the THI (Townscape Heritage Initiative) with a
?5m investment funded by the National Lottery Heritage
Fund, Falkirk Council, Scottish Enterprise Forth Valley
together with Euro funding.
The plans have also been given a boost through
independent research by the National Economic Foundation
which showed Bo'ness in third place in a "top 10" of
towns which had managed to retain their individual
character. Only Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and Peebles
in the Scottish Borders were ahead of Bo'ness in the
table. Courtesy of Wikimedia,
