Here's a map of a very old Bo'ness I found. Unfortunately, the orientation is upside-down, so North is at the bottom of the page. Kinneil House is at the right, for example.

The writing looks suspiciously like Futin Det's - is this fi an auld Runequest scenario u hud lyin ur drawer?
Nut - it's from the National Library of Scotland website, from 1600s, or something. But it doesn't exactly look like the best piece of cartography I've ever seen. They can't even spell Borrowstounness.
Ah see "G pans" gits a mention tho- - jist under the poorly spelt "Borrowtones"
Four steps ti the left and six forward and we find the treasure. Is it no oot i treasure island?
Sorry to disappoint you Carrier, but that's "& Pans", i.e. the salt pans where Grangepans gets its name.
Nivir!
Fake!
Actually, I just wanted to try and see if I could post something with a picture and couldn't think of anything else to show.
U huv certainly stimulated a lot of mass debate aroond this subject. Poast up sum mair!
