Wilsontown Ironworks

The ruins of the Wilsontown Ironworks are located near the village of Forth in Scotland, approximately 23 miles to the south east of Glasgow. The works were founded by the three Wilson brothers in 1779, and operated until 1842. The works had two blast furnaces, and in 1790 a forge was added. Later a rolling and slitting mill and additional forging hammers were installed. This increased the capacity of the works to 40 long tons of manufactured iron per week.

Located at 55.7791, -3.67264 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
