The white sandstone in the Clynelish quarry belongs to the Brora Formation, of the Callovian and Oxfordian phases (formerly Middle Oolite) of the Mid-Late Jurassic. Rock from the quarry was used 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 market. This distinction generated the local nickname of "Electric City" at the time. Brora likewise houses a baronial style clock tower which is a war memorial.
