View Larger MapDescription of institution: Uncertain identification of Sibbald's reference to "Babardy Lime-stone Quarry." Barbardy could be to Balbardie House and estate, where a house stood in the late seventeenth century (Wikipedia citing R.J. Marjoribanks, The Marjoribanks Journal No. 2 (January, 1994). http://marjorib.awardspace.co.uk/JIssue2.html). There were major mining operations on the site in the nineteenth century (minedat.org).
