Summary
| Description |
English: The quarry opened two years after the infamous 'Glencoe Massacre' of 1692. It expanded rapidly in the 19th century, supplying most of the roof slates for Scotland's growing industrial towns. In 1845 some 26 million slates were produced. The Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh used Ballachulish slate in many of his buildings. |
