Bo'ness Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Bo'ness

The town's full name is Borrowstounness, meaning "the headland near Beornweard's farmstead", but it's never called that. From medieval times coal-mining was its main industry, along with pottery, metal-working and ship-breaking; but the harbour became blighted as much by silting as by the decline of those industries. It's nowadays effectively a suburb of the oil and gas town of Grangemouth, and a commuter town for Edinburgh and Glasgow.
