| Caption: | Specimen of Blaxter High Nick sandstone, Blaxter Quarry, Elsdon, Otterburn, Northumberland. |
| Description: | Sample of Blaxter High Nick sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a natural rough surface with a very pale buff colour. This specimen is of Carboniferous age. Blaxter stone is a good matching stone for many building repairs in the historical New Town of Edinburgh. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 15. The man who did most to devise and implement a plan for the development of Edinburgh was George Drummond, six times Lord Provost of the city. In 1754 a new Exchange was built in Edinburgh, (now used as the City Chambers) with the help of donations from many other Scottish towns, to promote trade. |
