1788:
The first steamboat experiment was held on Dalswinton Loch. Robert Burns was farming at Ellisland, just outside Dumfries, when he was invited by his landlord, Patrick Miller, to go out in a small experimental steamboat. The boat, which was fitted with an engine designed by William Symington, was the first paddle-propelled steamboat in the world.

 A WOMAN was thrown from her bike after she was attacked by pranksters while she cycled through the Meadows. The 30-year-old came off her bicycle after a branch was pushed through the spokes of one of her wheels. A police spokesman said: "A 30-year-old woman was knocked off her bike on Middle Meadow Walk. We're following a positive line of inquiry." Previous Tollcross Articles Source: Edinburgh Evening News
