Scope and Content Glassworks, Alloa, Clackmannanshire (Clackmannanshire council area) This works was one of a number built in the 18th century to make glass bottles, others being in Glasgow and Leith. Two new glass cones were built in about 1825, and both survived until the late 1960s, when one was demolished. This view shows the glass cone which survived in 1981, looking down from part of the modern glassworks. Note the workshops round the base of the kiln, which housed bottlemaking machinery. This cone housed a furnace until the late 1970s, when a major extension to the works was completed. The cone, a scheduled monument has been repaired and kept beside the new works, which is still very active. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
