Geocache Description:

Coal,Canals and Sea Captains

The name Saltcoats or Saltcottis is derived from ancient times when salt was extracted from seawater - the 'cottis' being the local dwellings. Much of the salt in those days was used by the fishing industry for the curing of fish.
Saltcoats Harbour was built by Robert Cunninghame primarily for the export of his Stevenston coal to Ireland. The outer pier was added around 1800, at that time Saltcoats was a busy port with both local and foreign shipping, Prior to this in 1772 a two mile canal was built from the Stevenston coalfields to facilitate the coal's exportation

Parking is Easy, Just Park in the Car Park....lol
Watch out as this place can be Busy with Glesga Folk during the Glasgow Fair and People Just out for a Walk along the Prom...
Why not take the Time to Read some Interesting Facts about Sunny Saltcoats.

I think this Cache should be safe here as I have made it as inconspicuos as Poss, If its Taken I will replace it.
