GRANGEPANS, a village, in the parish of CarriDEN,
county of Linlithgow, i a mile (E. by S.) from
Borrowstounness; containing .517 inhabitants. It is
situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, and
nearly equidistant from Borrowstounness and Bridgeness.
The place has been for some time a seat of the
salt manufacture, and although the trade in the article
has been much reduced, yet in 1834 there were six pans
in operation, producing annually about 23,000 bushels;
in 1843 the number of pans had decreased to four. In
the village is also a malting establishment; and until
lately the manufacture of sal-ammoniac was carried on.
The mansion-house of Grange is of some antiquity, and,
having undergone repair, is now occupied by a tenant.
The coast road from Borrowstounness to Bridgeness
passes through the village.
