Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Barytes mine, Meall Tairneachan The mine was opened to extract barytes, a mineral which is mostly barium sulphate. Barium containing compounds are dense so this common mineral has found a use as a component of mud, a heavy slurry used to control the release of oil and gas from oil wells. This mine served the North Sea industry.
At the time of visit it was deserted. |
