NS 6000 7218 to NS 6026 7228 The published course (OS 25 inch 1957) was resurveyed. No remains exist across the disused quarry. The new line is deduced from the 1st edition OS 2 and a half map, revised detail around Buchley Lodge (see NS57SE 42.00 : NS 5983 7214 to NS 6000 7218 for details) and RAF vertical aerial photograph (F21/ 58/ 1453, frame no 0422, 1954). The evidence at NS 6001 7217 is somewhat contradictory, the text stating excavations proved the OS published line (the newline coincides here) while the scale plan from the hedge-line of Balmuildy Road pushed the line at an unacceptable distance to the N. It is assumed that the plan scale is in error. (However, see also NS57SE 42.00 : NS 5996 7216 ).
