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.
