NO3408 : Cults Lime Kiln

near to Coaltown of Burnturk, Fife, Great Britain

Cults Lime Kiln
Cults Lime Kiln
An immense wall of concrete containing one large and two smaller lime kilns. There is a plaque indicating the kilns, which are now disused, were rebuilt in 1937, but how old the original version was I have not established. Quarrying for limestone took place for several centuries along the escarpment (locally known as the 'balcony') of Cults Hill here.
