Scope and Content Shotts Iron Works, North Lanarkshire This works was founded in 1802 by the Shotts Iron Co, and greatly enlarged in the 1840s to use the hot blast process. It survived until 1947, when the nationalisation of its coal mines resulted in its closure and demolition. The associated foundries and workshops continued in operation until the 1970s. This shows the eastern part of the furnace bank, from which materials were charged into the row of blast furnaces along its base. The circular structure to the right is an ironstone calcining kiln. This section of furnace bank, and the kiln survive, but have been buried in rubbish tipped since the 1970s. Another section of furnace bank and a hot blast tower survive, but the other buildings on the site have all been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
