ferous sandstones of Find-
rassie, Spynie, and Lossie-
mouth

it is succeeded con-
formably by a limestone
(cornstone), which is now
worked at Bilboa Hall, about
half a mile north-east of the
quarry in the wood, where
the cherty sandstones occur.
It continues westwards for a
short distance, its western
termination being marked
by a slight escarpment, be-
yond which is a flat tract
of country from which the
limestone has been denuded.
Eastwards from Bilboa Hall
the limestone forms a low
ridge, along which it has
been extensively worked at a
short distance south of Elgin.
At Glassgreen there is an
abandoned quarry, and also
at Ashgrove

and the same
limestone occurs eastwards
at Linkswood, in the cutting
of the Elgin and Rothes Kail-
way, resting upon a sand-
stone like that in the wood
just referred to. From Links-
wood, as I learn from the Rev.
Dr. Gordon, the limestone
still continues eastwards to
the sea, near the Boar's Head.
This band of limestone dips
N.N.W. at 10°, and extends
under the town of Elgin,
where Dr. Gordon informs
me it is reached in well-
sinking after the sands and
gravels are passed through.
It was formerly wrought at
Pittendricht, a mile and a
half west of Elgin, this being
the most westerly point
where it occurs. Eastwards
it is again seen at Sherriff
Mill, and also, as is well
known, at Linksfield, imme-
diately north-east of Elgin,

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
