| Description: | Limestone from the Vicar's Bridge, one and three-quarter miles east of Dollar, Kinrossshire. It is a fine-grained dark limestone with prominent bedding. BGS Sample SL 7. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7565. The western edge of Bishop Hill lies in Kinross, and it is in this area alone that the county possesses workable limestone. Away from Bishop Hill, there are only two places in which limestone has been worked in the past to an appreciable extent, namely at Vicar?s Bridge and at Westmuir, east of Dollar, where there were once mines and quarries in the Carboniferous Castlecary Limestone. These occurrences, however, cannot be looked on as of value at the present day. |
