Queenzieburn Limestone Mine

Queenzieburn, Kilsyth, Stirlingshire.

Limestone mine originally with several entrances on the east bank of the Corry or Cast Burn (not actually on the Queenzie Burn which is the next stream c. 100 m to the east )

A linear series of passages cut into the small limestone cliff above Burnhead Farm. Now thought to be blocked. The first 200 metres are flooded with shallow standing water. [This may refer to the lower drainage adit]

Three, possibly four connected and roughly parallel levels running roughly parallel to the valley following the limestone beds. The upper passages, from a rabbit hole entrance (a wider entrance blocked either by a wall or by run in), have been reopened, and and are being resurveyed (c. 2021-22). Lower levels appear flooded.

Alternative Names: Corry Burn Limestone Mine, Corrieburn Limestone Mine

Notes: At least one bat has been spotted deep within the mine.
