Saltcoats
Saltcoats (Scottish Gaelic: Baile an t-Salainn) is a town on the west coast of North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is one of the 'Three Towns' along with Ardrossan and Stevenston.
History
Saltcoats' name is derived from the town's earliest industry when salt was harvested from the sea water, carried out in small houses along the beach known as 'cots'.[3] Other early industries in the town included coal mining, fishing and handloom weaving.[3]
After the turn of the twentieth century and the decline of salt panning in the town, Saltcoats became increasingly popular as a holiday destination.[3] An old bathing pond was rebuilt during the 1930s, becoming the largest tidal pool of the time in Scotland.[3] Saltcoats beautiful sandy beach makes it a popular destination for holiday makers and daytrippers.
Saltcoats received Burgh status in 1528, which lasted into 1975 when it was integrated into the then new Cunninghame District Council (now North Ayrshire Council).[3]
Transport
Saltcoats is served by regular bus and train services. Primary bus services are provided by Stagecoach West Scotland, while rail services are operated by SPT.
Although Saltcoats currently only has a single railway station, the town was once served by a second railway station to the north of the town, originally as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway. This station closed to regular services on 4 July 1932,[4] and there is no trace of the station today bar a nearby bridge.
Education
Saltcoats is served by 4 primary schools. These are Caledonia Primary School, Dykesmains Primary School, Mayfield Primary School and St Anthony's Primary School.
