This is the lower adit of the Blairlogie Copper Mine, the upper adit of which is shown in Image The sides of the adit have collapsed leaving only the very top of the adit open. In addition, the tunnel roof has collapsed a couple of metres behind this point leaving a small depression in the ground. This would have been the original entrance to the mine which was worked from this point through the rock to, eventually, emerge at the upper adit.
