Stratheden and Inverclyde Sandstone was sourced from quarries in many different parts of southern and central Scotland, including Ayrshire, Berwickshire, Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, Fife, Kinross-shire and Roxburghshire. The stone consisted originally of sand that was deposited by rivers during the late part of the Devonian Period and early part of the Carboniferous Period (c. 360 million years ago), when Scotland was close to the Equator. Stratheden and Inverclyde Sandstone was used locally, and possibly regionally, mainly for masonry. Stratheden and Inverclyde Sandstone is not quarried for building stone today.
