Stone in Scotland

This is one of a series of publications by UNESCO which consider stone resources in different parts of the world. This volume focuses on Scotland, a country which has been referred to as 'a nation of stone' and was once a major exporter of granite, sandstone and flagstone. The rich diversity of Scotland's geology has strongly influenced the diversity of its built heritage and, in a nation with such a long history and distinctive culture, there is an increasing need for a modern understanding and reassessment of its stone resources. This book highlights the links between the natural environment and society at a time when sustainable management of resources must be considered alongside planning for development.
