There was a limestone mine further up the burn and the lime was moved by mechanical means along to a bank of six limekilns here. They and the mine are shown on the First Ed. [Stirling Sheet XXVIII.7. Kilsyth] in 1859. These mounds are all that remain though the farmer was sure one kiln was still there.
