An old quarry in a field
The rock face, with the sun behind it, appears in this photograph as a dark linear feature at the back of the field. Click on the end-note title for other views of the quarry.
It can be seen in the background of several other pictures I took on the same day: NS4759 : Small marker, Brownside Braes / NS4759 : Old field boundary / NS4759 : Old gateposts and boundary.

Old quarry near Glenburn Reservoir
The quarry, whose NNW-facing rock face is about 50 metres long, is labelled "quarry" on the 1895 revision of the 25 inch map, and "old quarry" (meaning "disused") on the 1912 revision. It is in a sloping field, about 160m south of Glenburn Reservoir, and about 245m WNW of the site of a long-gone farm called Duchallaw (see Link for Duchallaw itself).
