At one point this had (according to the Scottish Pottery Society), "a monopoly of (ceramic) jam jars" which it exported throughout the world. Later, it produced distinctive thistle shaped ware. A quick search on the website indicates that there is still a substantial trade among collectors for them. The pottery was closed in 1976. A pleasant set of modern houses has taken their place, called "The Potteries". There is a Govancroft museum in Edinburgh which you can view by appointment if you call beforehand.
