The beach on South Bay at Saltcoats, which sits on the North Ayrshire coast of the Firth of Clyde opposite the Isle of Arran. In 16.9 format therfore a large view would be appreciated, HFF and a nice weekend! Saltcoats owes its name and its existence to the discovery here of easily worked coal deposits in the 1200s, when the monks of Kilwinning Abbey operated mines here. A common early use for coal extracted from coastal deposits was to provide the heat to evaporated sea water to produce salt, and the shores here rapidly became lined with sheds in which coal fires burned 24 hours per day under large pans of sea water. This must have been a pretty unpleasant place 800 years ago. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ardrossan/saltcoats/index.html
