Flooded quarry near Muirkirk
Flooded quarry near Muirkirk
The former iron works at Muirkirk, which town is in the right background with its "suburb" of Smallburn to the left, obtained much of its raw materials locally, coal, ironstone and limestone all being mined or quarried nearby. This particular flooded pit was a limestone quarry and was connected to the iron works by a lengthy and steeply graded standard-gauge tramway.
