taken 17 years ago, near to Mauchline, East Ayrshire, Scotland

Local sawmill
Local sawmill
Sawmill mainly producing materials for the local farming community e.g. fence posts. It uses the former site of sandstone quarries which produced the once famous Ballochmyle sandstone. The sandstone was formed under desert conditions and fossilised sand dunes, of possibly Permian age, were found in the quarries until they were filled in during the latter decades of the 20th century.
