NT4559 : Soutra quarry - new road

Last month (Dec 2009) the Scottish Borders Planning Committee voted in favour of a scheme proposed by the Skene Group Ltd to extend the Soutra Hill Quarry at Blackshiels to the east and south. 450,000 tonnes of greywacke is to be extracted each year over a 20-25 year period, thereby extending the overall quarry area to almost 40 hectares. It is expected that once the excavations are completed the quarry will be flooded to form a waterbody. The triangulation pillar on Soutra Hill will be lost at some point during the operations.
