| Caption: | Specimen of Bearil Gritstone from Bearl Quarry, Staindrop Darlington, County Durham. |
| Description: | Sample of Bearil Gritstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a very pale buff-grey colour. This particular sample is used to help select the right type of sandtone for repairs to historic buildings in the New Town of Edinburgh. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 27. In Edinburgh it is not just the buildings that are important, but the views that are framed by them and the presence of tall statues at the intersections. The views are all carefully planned, whether looking north to the Firth of Forth or south to the Castle Rock. The Mound is an artificial causeway formed across the valley between the New and Old Towns, formed by cartloads of earth from the foundations of the New Town. |
