Devon Iron-works, an extensive establishment in the Sauchie section of Clackmannan parish, Clackmannanshire, near the left bank of the Devon, 2½ miles NNE of Alloa. Including three furnaces and a large foundry, it turns out 6000 tons of pig-iron in the year, and converts a considerable portion thereof into cast-iron goods; and it communicates, by one railway with Alloa Harbour, by another with Clackmannan Pow at the mouth of the Black Devon.
