Remains of lime-kiln

This is the same kiln as is shown in NS4177 : Remains of lime-kiln (see that item for further details), but this view more clearly shows its circular shape.

Lime-kiln ruins beside the Murroch Burn :: NS4178

These lime-kilns ruins are in the form of small knolls, each of which has a pit, about three metres across, at its centre. In a small-scale local industry (early eighteenth to early nineteenth century), limestone was burned to produce lime for agricultural use.
