The buildings in shadow at the far side of the quarry house the primary and secondary crushing plant. Working quarry operated by Tilcon Ltd. in a quartz-dolerite sill belonging to the Midland Valley Sill Complex. The sill complex extends as far as the hills on the left facing Caldercruix which is situated immediately west of Hillend Reservoir. |
