TRIVIA: Lord Nelson Stoned Print E-mail
The refurbished Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square is worth a close look. The 163 year old Grade 1 listed structure is made from sandstone from the Craigleith Quarry in Edinburgh which closed 60 years ago (now a shopping centre). Luckily the restorers were able to savage enough of this rare sandstone from a building being demolished in Auld Reekie.
