Old cornstone workings

Cornstone (a kind of limestone) was quarried from various locations on Carman Muir, to be burned for lime, but the industry was centred on this particular knoll: a ruined lime-kiln can be seen on its northern side, and there are extensive spoil mounds and signs of quarrying nearby. See Link

for an annotated satellite view centred on this area. See Link for details of former quarrying on Carman Muir as a whole.
