Upper Quarry Entrance to the southern parts of the lower level of Cousland Limestone Mine and via that also to the upper levels. The main entrance to the lower levels was lost when the mine closed and has since been quarried away then later infilled (removing the lower parts of the lower level and blocking the connecting route to the western parts of the mine ). All the entrances to the upper levels of Cousland Mine were also infilled, but a way in was rediscovered in 2014? at one of the former entrances off the upper quarry (now a wooded area used by dog walkers, off Hadfield Road, opposite the Community Hall). Other entrances to the upper level are known to have existed of Southfield Road (south of Cousland at Bartholomew’s Firlot) and by the Bellyford Burn (near the junction of Hadfast Roasd and the A6124).
