| Caption: | Specimen of Stainton sandstone, Stainton Quarry, County Durham. |
| Description: | Sample of Stainton sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a light orange-buff colour. This specimen is of Carboniferous age. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 5. Stainton stone is generally a medium-grained, uniform sandstone, with a pale yellow-brown colour and speckled appearance. It can be seen in numerous repairs to stone buildings in Edinburgh, such as 3-13 Carlton Street where the original 1831 front chimneys were demolished and rebuilt in Stainton stone in 1982. Another example of Stainton stone is 9 Fettes Row, where the original 1827 front wall has indents of 1985 Stainton stone, whilst the front steps and flagstones have been replaced using York stone. |
