Corsehill

Fine Grained • Pink / Red • Sandstone

Extracted near Annan, Dumfriesshire, this stone was extensively quarried in the 1800s, and supplied to many prestigious projects throughout Britain, including the original pedastal to the Duke of Wellingtons Monument, (Admiralty Arch), Liverpool Street Station, London, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh, and the famous ‘Million Dollar Staircase’, New York State Capitol Building, among many others.

Its subtle variation of pink colouring and fine grain and its wealth of history have also made it a popular choice for specifiers in more recent times and we have supplied stone for a palace in Oman, Newcastle Crown Courts, Falkirk Sheriffs Court, and many other major contracts.
