WLGS 43 Kildimmery Fishery Quarry [NT 0220 7603] (Figure 146), (Figure 147)

WLC site description

Part of the Quartz-dolerite sills and dykes group of sites

Other designations: AGLV

Good exposures of an east–west trending quartz-dolerite dyke occur in the Kildimmery Fishery Quarry, on the north side of Nancy's Hill, 2 km south-east of Linlithgow. The quarry is now flooded and used as a fishery. Floating trackway up the middle of the quarry allows good viewing of the quarry faces. The Quarry was still being worked in the 1930's. The dyke intruded a volcanic vent of pyroclastic breccia and several of the hills nearby such as Jock's Hill, Peet Hill and Carsie Hill (WLGS 35) are also vent landforms.
