Looking out across the River Forth, we can see the Scottish capital, Edinburgh and the distinctive shape of the ancient volcano that the city surrounds. But we have not come here for the view! We have come along to Pettycur Bay on a freezing winter's day in search of the most unique sea glass we have ever found in Scotland - these incredible Emerald Green pieces of glass have puzzled us before, and Nicole has long since mentioned that there was some reports of an old Glass factory in the area... So, we, eventually, decided to do a little digging in the historical records... Sure enough, a glass works once stood above this beach, where the houses now stand - Craig tells you all about it in the video...
We find the most amazing Green sea glass - the pieces look like uncut gem stones, but they are actually made from sand collected from this very beach! A glass factory once stood above the harbor wall, making bottles for the Scottish Whisky trade. That factory stood her until economic collapse in the 1980s saw a swift demise in demand for luxury items, and with that, many of Scotland's industries fell. The factory was demolished and the housing we see today was built her, is this magical harbour bay.
The sea glass pieces we find here never became bottles... they have only ever existed in this state... These are the drops that escaped production and returned to the beach to mix again with the sands of this coast. That's why we only find it here - the glass is off this place and no other, making it perhaps the most unique sea glass ever?
We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!
