| Gillespie, M R, Everett, P A, Albornoz-Parra, L J, and Tracey, E A. 2013. A survey of building stone and roofing slate in Falkirk town centre. Nottingham, UK, British geological Survey. (OR/13/015). |
Table A4_1 (below) contains a list (arranged in alphabetical order) of all the quarries that historically produced sandstone building stone within the search area described in section 4 (156 quarries in total). Alternative names for some quarries are placed in brackets. Grid references are fully numeric (i.e. they don’t include the unique two-letter prefixes denoting 100 kilometre squares). ‘Lithostratigraphic unit’ refers to the named sequence of strata in which the quarry is situated. ‘MPA’ denotes the Mineral Planning Authority in which the quarry sits: FAL = Falkirk; FIF = Fife; NLK = North Lanarkshire; STG = Stirling; WLN = West Lothian. All comments in the ‘Notes’ column were sourced from the BGS Database of Mines and Quarries (‘BritPits’), unless stated otherwise. All quarries are currently inactive, and some will be ‘sterilised’ by infilling or flooding. Figure 15 in section 4.2 shows the location of all quarries.
