Catpund Steatite Quarries

Home > Things to See and Do > Attractions > Historic Attractions > Historic Sites & Monuments > Catpund Steatite Quarries

Steatite or soapstone is soft and easy to carve into bowls. From prehistoric times onwards vessels of various sizes or shapes were cut out of the rock face here. The quarrying marks can still be clearly seen.
