Dalmahoy Hill and Tarmac Quarry buildings The quarry is identified as Ravelrig Quarry on the current OS 1:25000 map, and is in the next square to the SE. It is a huge hole <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/887642">NT1466 : Dalmahoy Quarry</a> and was not there when I last went up the hill in the 1970s; it is also not on the 2001 edition of the map.

Hardstanding beside the railway Marked on the map as a waste transfer station but looking hardly used now. One of the Dalmahoy quarries was filled in by a landfill site, so the waste may have all gone below the ground by now.
