The Landscapes of Scotland Descriptions 51 - 60 51 Islay and Colonsay 52 Jura 53 Knapdale and Kilmartin 54 Cowal and Bute 55 Lomond 56 Kinross-shire and Howe of Fife 57 East Fife 58 Lennox Hills 59 Edinburgh and Firth of Forth 60 Lothian and Borders Coast 51 Islay and Colonsay Description Islay is low-lying island. It has a varied and indented coast, with open sandy bays contrasting with craggy headlands and skerries. It is renowned for its whisky, having eight distilleries with their distinctive buildings. Tourism and traditional agriculture are the other economic mainstays; many come to Islay to watch the spectacular populations of geese and cliff birds. Away from the distillery buildings, the settlement pattern is mostly agricultural with small crofting settlements near the low- lying coastal areas. Colonsay lies to the north. It is fringed by sandy beaches and is also known for its bird life. Prehistoric and mediaeval monuments, such as Mesolithic mounds and stone crosses, survived relatively well here due to less land-use pressure.

Large estate landscapes contrast with the small crofting townships and settlements. Access is relatively restricted, with only one main road route, closely following the coastal edge. -

Grangemouth Soapworks
Grangemouth Soapworks The SCWS Soapworks, Grangemouth Geoff B Bailey In the 1890s there was an embargo placed upon the sales of soap to the Co-operative movement throughout Britain by the leading manufacturers such a Leverhume. The industries accused the co- operatives of undercutting other retailers by offering a dividend and in turn the Co-operative accused the industry of price-fixing. Early in 1896 the directors of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society decided to enter into the field of soapmaking and secured land in South Lumley Street in Grangemouth for this purpose. The location meant that the bulky raw materials could be brought in through the growing port or by rail and from the beginning the works had its own siding. £11,000 was set aside for the project and the production of soap began in October 1897. Illus: 2nd ed OS map showing that construction work had begun with what became the glycerine room and the railway siding. The map also illustrates just how close the works was to the burgh boundary. Illus: Barrels of tallow and rendered fat in the yard just off Lumley Street with part of the large workforce. c1918. At first sales were slow and the plant was working well below capacity. Part of the problem was the unfamiliarity of the products to the consumer and the great advertising campaigns of their main rivals. Rumours circulated about the SCWs soap which were not true, but which the press was slow to contradict in fear of losing advertising revenue.
