| Description: | Sample of Birchover sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a pale orange-buff colour. This specimen is of Carboniferous age. This sandstone sample is part of a collection of over 150 sandstones which are used to select suitable stone for repair work on Edinburgh's buildings. It is only by making careful choices and using the correct materials that the unique fabric and character of an historic city like Edinburgh can be conserved. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 117. The environment of central Edinburgh is of exceptional interest with unrivalled urban and landscape qualities which successfully incorporates the functions of a thriving capital city. The unique qualities of both the Old and New towns of Edinburgh were recognised in 1995 when the area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. |
