The white sandstone in the Clynelish quarry belongs to the Brora Development, of the Callovian and also Oxfordian stages (formerly Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic. Stone from the quarry was made use of in the building and construction of London Bridge, Liverpool Cathedral and Dunrobin Castle. When in operation, the coalmine was one of the most northern coalmine in the UK. Brora was the starting point in the north of Scotland to have electricity thanks to its woollen industry. This difference gave rise to the neighborhood label of "Electric City" at the time. Brora also houses a baronial style clock tower which is a war memorial.
