Title:
[Sketch plan of Sauchie marches at Youngs Corner]
Creator:
Anonymous
Date:
1700-1734
Description:
This early 18th-century sketch plan depicts the Sauchie march boundary at Young's corner on the road by Alloa. A related sketch shows the detail of an angle of the march that was in dispute. There is no scale. A dyke is marked as the alleged Sauchie march. A second line is drawn nearer the high road, with points numbered 1-11 showing the suggested march line. Some of the points are identified by stones, the burn and a hedge. The suggested boundary is angled to avoid two panholes. These are probably salt pans. Sea water was boiled in huge shallow iron pans using coal from nearby collieries to evaporate the water and allow the salt to be collected.
