| Description: | Corsehill Quarry, Annan. Dumfriesshire. In the dressing yard. Masons at work on stone. The masons are shown wielding wooden mallets called 'mells' and chisels as they work on the stone. On the left are sawn blocks; some show small holes cut in the faces. These holes are used for gripping and handling the blocks with a dog and chain sling as in the centre foreground. |
