Greetings fellow dialists,
Re Edley's thoughts on cast stone I can say that in Ross Hall Park, a
municipal park in Glasgow, formerly the grounds of a grand house, there
is an extensive grotto made of stone, some natural and some artificial.
It dates from the nineteenth century. My son-in-law who is a
professional sedimentologist says he has difficulty in distinguishing
the artificial stone from the real stuff. I believe Glasgow Council may
have this old recipe for casting stone but will ask my son-in-law for
further information. Unfortunately he is currently in Uganda (looking
for oil) but will be home shortly. More later.
