Blackbraes Coke Ovens is a site of industrial heritage located at Muiravonside in Stirlingshire, Scotland, comprising the substantial remains of coke production facilities that served the region's coal-based industries during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The site preserves the physical infrastructure of coke manufacturing, including the characteristic beehive or dome-shaped oven structures that were standard in British coking operations of this period. Coke ovens of this type were essential to iron smelting and other heavy industrial processes, making Blackbraes an important witness to Scotland's industrial economy during its period of maximum expansion. The surviving structures at the site provide archaeological and architectural evidence of working-class industrial production methods and the landscape transformation wrought by Victorian-era resource extraction.
