:''For other places with the same name see Saltcoats (disambiguation).'' Saltcoats ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Baile an t-Salainn)) is a small town on the west coast of North Ayrshire, Scotland. The name is derived from the town's earliest industry when salt was harvested from the sea water, carried out in small cottages along the shore. It is part of the "Greater Ardrossan" or "Three Towns" conurbation along with Ardrossan and Stevenston. ==Transport== The harbour was designed by James Jardine in 1811.〔http://www.scottish-places.info/people/famousfirst2497.html〕 Saltcoats is served by regular bus and train services. Primary bus services are provided by Stagecoach West Scotland, while rail services are operated by SPT. Although Saltcoats currently only has a single railway station, the town was once served by a second railway station to the north of the town, originally as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway. This station closed to regular services on 4 July 1932,〔Stansfield, page 7〕 and there is no trace of the station today bar a nearby bridge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saltcoats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
