Waterside Bing is a substantial iron slag heap associated with Dalmellington Ironworks in Ayrshire, Scotland. The bing represents the accumulated waste product of iron smelting operations that characterised the ironworks during the nineteenth century, when Dalmellington was a significant centre of iron production in south-west Scotland. The heap survives as a prominent landscape feature, physically embodying the scale of industrial activity at the works and the material legacy of the region's iron manufacturing heritage. Such bings are important archaeological monuments that document the technological and economic processes of Victorian-era heavy industry.
