Grahamston Foundry

Whats left of Grahamston foundry, it's one of the largest single castings in the world, all cast iron.
All the guys who worked in these foundries were highly skilled.

This foundry has closed as well. They used to make light castings in latter days, like drain covers, gutters, and rhone pipes for houses.
I forgot to say it weighs 20 tons, and was awarded a diploma of honour in 1886 at an Edinburgh exhibition.
