Tour Scotland video of the Limekilns at Boddin Point, South of Montrose, Scotland. The kiln was built on the orders of local landowner, Robert Scott, of nearby Dunninald Castle, on the discovery of a rich seam of limestone. The kilns were built during a period when agrarian improvements and enclosure created an enormous demand for lime, which was used until the late 19th century to reduce acidity and improve the workability and drainage properties of heavy clay soils.
