| Caption: | Specimen of Spynie sandstone, Spynie Quarry, Moray. |
| Description: | Sample of Spynie sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a natural rough surface with a variable very pale orange-buff colour. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 92. Spynie stone is of Triassic age, from a series of quarries near Elgin. It is of aeolian origin and was used in a number of repairs in Edinburgh at the end of the 20th century, because of its similarity to Craigleith stone. Spynie sandstone is composed predominantly of quartz grains with subordinate feldspar and rare mica and iron oxide. |
