Ayr harbour and the River Ayr

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Scotland · Europe · approx. 55.46, -4.63 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1855 Ordnance Survey town plan era

What turns up: Port and resort refuse: stoneware ginger-beer bottles, aerated-water and soda bottles from Ayr bottlers, black-glass whisky, ale and wine bottles, Codd and Hamilton sodas, transfer-printed pot lids and clay pipes around the harbour and along the tidal river banks; steady Victorian dump material.

Access: Gray area.

Scotland requires all finds reported: any object of any age can belong to the Crown under bona vacantia and Treasure Trove and MUST be reported to the Treasure Trove Unit at the Crown Office, unlike England. The harbour and shore foreshore is Crown Estate Scotland; the non-tidal river banks are largely private and need the landowner's permission.
