SALTCOATS (pop. 8120)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 451 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALTCOATS (pop. 8120) , a mile to the
south
 , is a popular sea-side resort, with a brisk
trade
 , due to its proximity to Ardrossan and Stevenston; the making of salt, once a leading industry, has ceased.
Ardrossan
dates
  from an early period. The name Arthur of Ardrossan is found in connexion with a charter dated 1226; and Sir Fergus of Ardrossan accompanied
Edward
  Bruce in his Irish expedition in 1316, and in 1320 signed the appeal to the
pope
 , made by the barons of
Scotland
 , against the aggressions of England. The family of Ardrossan is now merged, by
marriage
 , in that of the
earl
  of Eglinton and Winton. The castle where Wallace surprised the English garrison and threw their corpses into the
dungeon
 , grimly styled " Wallace's Larder," was finally destroyed by Cromwell, who is said to have used part of its masonry for the construction of the fort at Ayr; but its ruins still exist.
