The work is the result of a digitisation project funded by the New Opportunities Fund RLS (Resources for Learning in Scotland). This report contains 250 images and text descriptions of building stones from the historic New Town of Edinburgh, including specimens from the collections of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The digitisation project took place between January and June 2003 and the images and descriptions will be made available on the RLS website and the BGS National Archive of Geological Photographs
