| Description: | Sample of Hall Dale sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a very pale orange-buff colour. This specimen is of Carboniferous age. This sandstone is used in order to help identify the best matching sandstones to repair historic buildings in the New Town of Edinburgh. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 29. The Edinburgh New Town was built in the old Scottish system, in that developers acquired sites for building houses from the feudal superior. The feudal superior could impose conditions over the design of the houses, and although they could be sold or inherited they were always under feudal control. In Edinburgh the feudal superior was the City itself. |
