Chronology Dates
| / /1765 | James Watt Dr John Roebuck, who was the founder of the Carron Iron Works and lived at Kinneil House, formed a partnership (around 1765) with Watt and encouraged him to refine the design of his steam engine with separate condenser in a cottage, Watt's workshop, within the grounds of the house. Roebuck hoped to use engines to drain his mines at Bo'ness. |
