Lime-kiln ruins beside the Murroch Burn

These lime-kilns ruins beside the Murroch Burn (see Link for the burn itself) are in the form of small green knolls, each of which has a pit, about three metres across, at its centre. See Link for an index to their positions. In a small-scale local industry (early eighteenth to early nineteenth century), limestone was burned to produce lime for agricultural use. Further downstream, a larger kiln of a different design – Link – stands on the other side of the burn, beside Murroch Farm.
