Parkview lime kilns is a Carboniferous or Permian industrial monument situated in Renfrewshire, Scotland, approximately 275 metres south of Parkview. The kilns are protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland reference SM12898. Lime kilns of this period represent crucial infrastructure for rural and agricultural economies, producing quicklime for soil improvement, building mortar and whitewash through the burning of limestone at high temperature.
The site's geology is notable for its foundation upon an unnamed mafic igneous intrusion of Permian age, a dark, dense volcanic rock quite distinct from the limestone typically quarried for lime production elsewhere. This geological setting suggests the lime used at these kilns was sourced from nearby limestone deposits rather than worked from the bedrock immediately beneath the structure itself.
The monument survives as physical evidence of local industrial practice and the distribution networks that supplied agricultural lime across the Scottish lowlands. Such kilns were commonly operated by landowners or specialist lime-burners, and their presence indicates established agricultural improvement and building activity in this part of Renfrewshire during the post-medieval period.
