William Symington is mentioned in the museum poster material, as being one of the engineers responsible for the provision of new techniques for the beam engines.
William Symington's father was described as being a 'practical mechanic and superintendent of the Mining Company at Leadhills and he was probably the 'Mr Symington' who visited Carron ironworks in 1785 to purchase machinery for the 'Mines Company.
Symington's success with his stationary engines shows he was no foot in that sphere, but the fact that he achieved little financial reward in the long term points to a lack of perspicacity.

 William Symington - Inventor of Steam Navigation.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
After expressing his admiration of the model, he told Symington that he, too, was an inventor, and described his boats, and the disappointment he felt in the power he employed not being sufficiently effective.
Symington then said, "Why do you not use the steam-engine !" and proceeded to show how it could be connected with the wheels of the boat, using the model of the steam-carriage to explain his meaning.
Mr Symington, fortunately for his country and the world, although most unfortunately for himself and family, gave up all thoughts of the colliery, and returned home, elated with the thought of being able to re-embark in his favourite project under such promising auspices.

 Messiah The Prince
William Symington, Covenanter pastor of a Reformed Presbyterian congregation in the town of Stranraer, eighty miles south of Glasgow on the southwest coast of Scotland, was born in Paisley on June 2, 1795.
Symington's outstanding work has proved to be an enduring theological classic, one of the clearest expositions of the Scriptures in support of the proposition that Jesus Christ was appointed by the Father as King over all men and nations (Psalm 2).
Now, 161 years after Symington wrote the book, we come to 1999, when we are witnessing a time of perhaps greater church apostasy, ignorance, and failure to teach the whole counsel of God, especially as regards Christian civil government, since the period prior to the Reformation of the 16th century.

 The Atonement and Intercession of Jesus Christ by William Symington
William Symington thoughtfully considers Christ’s atonement and intercession, and provides a clear analysis of both.
Symington aptly closes by discussing Christ’s work of intercession as the continued efficacy of His atoning sacrifice.
Focusing almost exclusively on the ‘passive’ obedience of Christ, Symington’s treatment of the atonement is not complete; but few finer accounts of this aspect of the work of Christ exist.

The American cousins of William Symington's Reformed Presbyterian Church of Scotland said in a clear and unmistakable confessional testimony backed up by the practice of "political dissent" enforced by the threat of ecclesiastical excommunication for those refusing to protest our Christless constitution: "The Preamble is clear; it says: 'We, the People.'
