Quarry stone

I've been drawing at Scrabster quarry for a few days now.  I'd love to know more about this disused quarry that sits on the edge of a 200 foot cliff on the very north of Scotland, it must have been a harsh environment to work in in winter! Today though has been beautifully sunny and warm enough to finish a sketch before the sun dropped below the horizon. I love the solidity of the caithness stone and irregularity of the mounts of discards pieces.
