Craiglas - signs of an industrial past As described by Cared in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/31125">SN5168 : Craiglas Lime Kilns</a>, Craiglas was a thriving lime burning site in the first half of the nineteenth century, with raw materials being imported by ships which berthed at jetties here. The breakwater/groyne (the lighter row of stones, upper left) was marked on OS maps until the 1960s.
