context_page_description: The Barony of Newton is a Scottish feudal barony located in the Parish of Bothkennar near Grangemouth, Stirlingshire. The Barony was erected on 3 April 1685 with Edward Wright as baron. The Barony was subsequently confirmed by Crown Charter issued under the Great Seal of George III, William Frederick, King of Great Britain and Ireland.
  There are earlier references in the seventeenth century to Newton of Bothkennar as a place, for example John Callendar, was served heir to his father James Callendar portioner of Newton in Bothkennar, 7 October 1637, while William Bruce of Newton, was served heir to his father Patrick Bruce of Newton within the barony of Bothkennar, 3 January 1655. However it is not until 3 April 1685 that Newton is erected as a barony with Edward Wright, an advocate, as baron.
context_section_description: Some historians reckon the Industrial Revolution in Scotland began with the establishment of the Carron Iron Works in nearby Falkirk during 1759. The most famous product of the contemporary Carron Iron Works was the carronade which was short, smooth bore, iron cannon developed for use by the Royal Navy.
