Newbiggin Sandstone Quarry

Newbigging Sandstone Quarry in Fife is one of a number of former quarries in the Burntisland/Aberdour district which exploited the pale-coloured Grange Sandstone from Lower Carboniferous rocks. The quarry supplied building stone from the late 19th century, working intermittently from 1914 until closure in 1937, and again when reopened in the 1970s to the 1990s. The stone was primarily used locally and to supply the nearby markets in the Scottish Central Belt.
