(originally BORROWSTOUNNESS), a municipal and police burgh and seaport of Linlithgowshire, Scotland, on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, 17m. W. by N. of Edinburgh, and 24m. by rail, the terminus of the L.&N.E. railway's branch line from Manuel. Pop. (1931) io,ogs. It has an extensive har bour and imports pit-props and exports coal, but Grangemouth, higher up the firth, has limited its trade, in which it ranked next Leith in the i8th century. The chief industry is coal-mining, some of the pits extending for a long distance beneath the firth. Iron f ounding, distilling, stone-quarrying and the manufacture of earthenware and chemical manures are also important. Traces of the wall of Antoninus may be seen especially near Inveravon.
