The hard, closely bedded flagstone was laid down some 370 million years ago, in Devonian times. Flagstone was extensively quarried around Thurso in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was used locally for roofing and walling and exported for use as paving stone. Elsewhere in Scotland, paving stone was also quarried in Angus. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
