Higgins Neuk 23 Oct 2024Archaeology NotesNS98NW 312.01 92229 87138See also under Higginsneuk landing-place (NS98NW 344).(Location cited as NS 921 870). Higginsneuk, Stirlingshire. The landing [NS98NW 344] at Higginsneuk, the Stirlingshire terminal of Kincardine Ferry, is situated about 200yds [183m] upstream from Kincardine Bridge [NS98NW 59]. The 'Ferry of Airth' mentioned in 1565 may or may not have been located here, but in later times the crossing was much used by drovers making for Falkirk Tryst, and today the most conspicuous feature of the place is the walled drove-road [NS98NW 312.00] that leads to the ferry from the highway at the Keith Arms Inn [NS98NW 345]. This is 40ft [12.2m] wide, unmetalled, and may be matched in many places where droves had to traverse improved land. Between the end of the walling and the edge of the mud-flats, the course of the road is marked by kerbs and revetment; the jetty, which ran out across the mud to the deeper water, was of wood and has gone to ruin, but the piles on which it rested, set in rows transversely to its axis, may still be seen at low tide.On the NW side of the roadway, in its lowermost part, a recess has been dug in the mud-bank and revetted with timber, no doubt as a dock for a ferry-boat. On the SE side, there are the ruins of a timber-built sluice [NS98NW 312.02] set on a small watercourse, evidently designed to keep the landing clear of mud.A Graham 1969.Graham, A.
