NS3679 : Leaving Carman Quarry
taken 9 years ago, near to Renton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Leaving Carman Quarry
The trees not far ahead correspond to what would have been the north-eastern edge of the Fairy Knowe (see the end-note). The path leads to the summit of Carman Hill, seen behind the trees.
See NS3779 : Entering Carman Quarry for a view in the opposite direction from just beyond the trees.

The former Fairy Knowe Quarry :: NS3779
Red sandstone was quarried here. The site was formerly a small hill called Fairy Knowe, but it became a quarry at the end of the nineteenth century; later maps call it Carman Quarry. It has long been disused. See Link
for an annotated satellite view putting this site in its geological context. See Link and Link (in a Geograph article) for more on the quarry, the Fairy Knowe, and old traditions about this site and Havoc Hole.
