Castlehill Harbour

Castehill Harbour Scotland 2010, originally uploaded by Willem van Leuveren.

In 1820 work began on the construction of Castlehill Harbour, intended to allow the easy transport of flagstones from the local quarries to destinations throughout the British Isles and far beyond: Castlehill flagstone found use in places as far afield as South America and Australia.
