Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beauties of Scotland, Vol. 2: Containing a Clear and Full Account of the Agriculture, Commerce, Mines, and Manufactures; Of the Population, Cities, Towns, Villages, &C., Of Each County
In the parish of Longformacus, which forms a part of Lammermoor, favourable appearances have been found of copper ore. Attempts were made to work it some years ago, but patience and perseverance are said to have been wanting. As this is not a quarter of the country in which persons reside who are accustomed to hazard any thing in pursuit of mineral riches, it is probable also that a suit able expenditure of capital was wanting. At one time, some cart-loads of ore were dug up in making a road. Some of it is said to have been reduced into metal, and that the ore was found very rich. In the parish of Bonkle, similar appearances of copper have been found.
