| Description: | Kaimes Hill and quarry, east of Kaimes House, Ratho, Midlothian. View of the hill and quarry in Carboniferous dolerite of Dalmahoy type. The processing plant and stockpiles of crushed aggregate are visible in front of the quarry. The many igneous rocks in the Edinburgh area, particularly the sills, have provided a valuable source of roadstone and, in the past, provided a large number of stone setts and walling stones. |
