NX98SE 71 9876 8136

(Location cited as NX 987 813). Sandstone quarry, Locharbriggs. Mid 19th century and later. A large red-sandstone quarry, now partly flooded, worked on a small scale, with several derrick-cranes, both wood and steel. There are corrugated-iron saw-sheds, and an interesting plant for making bricks from waste, with a narrow-gauge railway, at NX 986 814.
