| Caption: | Limestone from Portgower, Sutherland. |
| Description: | A pale grey limestone containing numerous shells from the Jurassic 'Boulder Beds' south-west of the 'Fallen Stack', Portgower, Sutherland. BGS Sample SL 162. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7609. Jurassic limestone in thin beds is to be found on the east coast at Portgower, Brora and Golspie. It is of such poor quality, however, that there is little likelihood of its ever again proving of value for lime; and reserves are not sufficient to make it worth investigation as a source of cement. Sutherland contains very large reserves of limestone at Durness and Eriboll and also in Assynt. Apart from this there are very few limestones elsewhere in Sutherland. |
