Overview

History & significance

Hollandbush Limekilns is a series of historic lime-burning installations located approximately one hundred metres west of Hollandbush in Stirlingshire. The kilns represent the industrial exploitation of local limestone resources, a practice that became increasingly significant during the post-medieval period as demand for lime grew for agricultural improvement and building mortar. The surviving structures exemplify the technological approach to lime production characteristic of Scottish rural industry, though the precise dating of individual kilns within the complex requires further specialist archaeological investigation.
