    Tips

    The 14 limekilns at Charlestown were built out of sandstone in the 18th century and became the largest in Scotland. Opposite the kilns is a harbour specifically built to allow ships to get as close as possible to the kilns, after which they would carry the quicklime and coal to the rest of the country and beyond; playing an important role in the industrialisation process.

      Not much here but an interesting history lesson. Fun to picture the workers loading the boats.
