Quarried at Kirk Patrick Fleming in Southern Scotland. Cove Red is a fine grained, warm terracotta-red coloured sandstone, almost a cross between Locharbriggs and Corsehill. The stone can have distinct bed markings giving it an interesting characteristic. Cove is suitable for most masonry facades and monumental applications. The quarry has in its past, yielded many thousands of tonnes and at the turn of the 1900’s employed up to 400 men. Cove Red has an enviable history, as large quantities were shipped to America and Canada, used primarily as ballast in the ships and subsequently as stone in various buildings on the East Coast, including the base of the Statue of Liberty. There are large reserves with long term planning consent. The quarry is worked periodically by our Northern quarry team, either to order or to replenish stocks. Availability from stock is usually within 7 to 10 days.
