Overview

History & significance

Parkview lime kilns, located 275 metres south of Parkview in Renfrewshire, Scotland, are industrial structures associated with the extraction and processing of lime, a material essential to agriculture, construction, and chemical manufacture. The kilns date to the post-medieval period and represent the small-scale industrial heritage characteristic of rural Renfrewshire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Lime kilns of this type typically consisted of stone-built structures designed to heat limestone to high temperatures, converting it into quicklime for use in mortar, whitewash, and soil improvement. The survival of such structures provides evidence of the widespread practice of lime burning across Scotland's agricultural and industrial landscape during this period.
