In 1769 and 1770, when John Roebuck was the tenant at Kinneil House, Bo’ness, Scotland, he employed James Watt to undertake experiments to develop a more efficient steam engine capable of pumping water out of deep coal mines under the River Forth. Watt succeeded in his quest, though only after he had left Kinneil. The experiments were kept secret by housing them in this cottage close to Kinneil House itself. Whether it was entirely wise to employ someone to develop a bigger and better steam engine only yards from where you are living is open to debate: though perhaps the fact that the old tower house has walls that are six feet thick gave Roebuck a greater sense of security!

Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T No.419 Shown here at Bo'ness, properly Borrowstounness, a town in the Falkirk Council area of Scotland, lying on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth.
