The NSA, published 1840, records that 'A lime-kiln is in operation in the vicinity of Broadford, which supplies an extensive district with lime of a superior quality. To the public it is sold at 9d. per boll; but Lord Macdonald, with his usual attention to the interests of his tenants, binds the lessee of the lime kiln to supply them with lime for building at 6d.; and for land at 4d. per boll.'
