| Abstract: | Despite the fact that the glasshouse at Wemyss is mentioned in much of the literature on British glass, often as the only early Scottish glassworks, very little is actually known about it. The glass cave seems likely to have been the site of the glassworks built at Wemyss by 1621, but no other information has been found. Fortunately, however, some tangible evidence of the later period of its history has come to light which, although slight, does prove that the cave was indeed home to glassmaking in the early 18th century. | ||
