bullet  General Notes:

There is a history of Salting in Prestonpans at:
www.prestoungrange.org/core-files/archive/!brickma.pdf
On p8 it refers to a John Greig:

"However, small scale undertakings remained the norm in the
Prestonpans area (in later centuries an untypical position in
the Scottish salt industry). Even most of the pans on Prestongrange
Estate were in the hands of people of modest rank. For
example in the early eighteenth century John Greig, indweller,
and Richard Henderson, sailor. Others were merchants, both
local and from Edinburgh. A total of eleven works around
Prestonpans remained outside the hands of the landed proprietors
in the early eighteenth century. However, their output
has been estimated as only 2,000 bushels each per pan p.a.
when the Scottish average was 4,500. The remaining works
were on a considerably larger scale, c.f. the 40 pans owned
and operated by the Winton Estates at Cockenzie and their
individual outputs were higher."
