It really is wonderful what the #BigBen project has done to renew and revive this mighty national symbol. Glittering, gleaming and glorious in yesterday’s autumn sun.

We’re excited to see our beautiful iron bench from @BallantineCast installed at the Bo'ness harbour. When working with the team for the @SustransScot Greenways project along the shorefront, we heard from residents that they’d like more seating in place. We hope you like it!

Coming up on tonight’s @STVNews - I’m at @BallantineCast in Bo’ness. The iron foundry has won its biggest architectural export order in more than a generation. The founding family claim you’re never more than 100 paces from their work.

From our foundry archives here’s a mock up advert showing a cast iron night and day sales kiosk. And what a fantastic slogan - Cast Iron Can Make It, Cast Iron Can Take It! #ironworkthursday #archives goo.gl/BTxiAx
