Old travel Blog photograph of houses on Dean Road in Bo'ness in West Lothian, Scotland. 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 seawater over coal fires. The ruins of several fisheries, fish storage houses, along the shoreline evidences long gone commercial fishing activity. The town was also home to several sizable potteries. Metalworking is still carried out, and examples of the Bo'ness Iron Company's work are to be found in many places.
