How to Make Slaked Lime With Fire and Limestone
Just like when talking to beekeepers, beer brewers, or any of a number of simple skills -- the basics of what I am about to talk about are simple, but the chemistry rapidly gets complicated -- but if you just want a simple quicklime or slaked lime realize that this level of tech was well known even before the ancient romans -- so it is definitely something modern man can accomplish.
First off understand that there are two types of lime quicklime and hydrated lime.
Quicklime is made by heating calcium carbonate (limestone, marble, chalk, shells, etc.) to a temperature of around 1000°C for several to burn or calcimine it. Quicklime is a strong base so it is unstable and can be hazardous. To make it less dangerous, water is added to slake it. This is also known as hydrated lime.
The first time I saw this process on YouTube, I was amazed -- water makes the burned limestone crumble to bits -- it looks like it is melting.
If quicklime is hydrated with a lot of water and well mixed, it forms a milky liquid known as milk of lime.
If you age it enough that the solids settle, and then you drain off the extra water, you get a pasty residue that is called lime putty.
Lime putty stores almost indefinitely and, actually gets better with age.
When Lime putty is mixed with aggregate and water you can use it as a mortar of excellent quality and consistency.
In the video I used my aluminum smelting foundry to test the process, and it worked -- but the action of the blower and the corrosiveness of the lime ate right through my crucible.

My Pen-y-ghent walk offers an amazing walk and views. The conditions for walk up Pen-y-ghent were perfect and this short movie of Pen-y-ghent is from an April morning.
Pen-y-ghent is the smallest of the 3 peak but still offers some of the best views to be seen in the Yorkshire Dales and the walk is incredible.

Dundonald castle in Kilmarnock Scotland part:1 พาชมปราสาทร้าง ดนโดแนว วิวสวยๆ
HISTORY OF DUNDONALD CASTLE:
The site of Dundonald was first fortified in the Iron Age with a number of round houses being enclosed within a earth rampart topped by a wooden palisade. Possibly suppressed during the Roman period, the fortified settlement was re-built around AD 500. Incorporated into the Kingdom of Strathclyde, the capital of which was Dumbarton, it acted as a key port with evidence of trade with France.
In the early eleventh century Ywain son of Dyfnal, King of Strathclyde invaded Northumbria - which in this period stretched from Yorkshire in the south to Lothian in the north - commencing a war with their southern neighbour. Around about this time Dundonald was destroyed by fire but the cause is unknown. Either way the campaign was successful with the Northumbrians defeated and capture of the territory north of the River Tweed. When the King of Strathclyde died childless in 1018, Strathclyde (including Dundonald plus the newly conquered Lothian territories) passed to the King of the Scots.
Dundonald seems to have remained unoccupied after the hillfort's destruction until the twelfth century. At this time King David I of Scotland was actively encouraging Normans to settle within his Kingdom in a strategy designed to assist in bringing the country firmly under his rule. In 1136 Dundonald was granted to Walter FitzAlan who was also given extensive estates on the west coast to hold the Gaelic-Norse Lords of the Isles and the Lords of Galloway in check. Waltar didn't disappoint and in 1164 defeated and killed Somerled, King of the Isles. At somepoint around this time he established Dundonald Castle initially as an earth and timber motte-and-bailey structure.
The timber castle of Waltar FitzAlan was replaced in the thirteenth century by a new stone structure. Work commenced for Alexander, High Steward of Scotland around 1240 and continued for over forty years. Two great double D-shaped gatehouses towered over the curtain wall whilst four additional turrets provided accommodation and further security. There is no record of military action at Dundonald at this time but during the 1260s war was ongoing with the Norwegians over control of Western Scotland; nearby Ayr Castle was certainly damaged at this time. The Norwegian claim on Western Scotland died with King Haakon IV in 1263 but it wasn't long before Scotland was threatened once more. In 1296 King Edward I of England commenced the first War of Scottish Independence and Dundonald Castle was destroyed within the first few years of conflict possibly by Robert the Bruce (later Robert I) to prevent its use by the English.
By the fourteenth century Dundonald was still owned by the descendants of Waltar FitzAlan who also held the heredity position of High Steward of Scotland. With the Wars of Independence settled the then owner, Robert, commissioned a new castle to be built at Dundonald. This new fortification took the form of a large tower house constructed over, and re-using, the remaining structure of the former castle. The new fortification was probably complete in 1371 when Robert was elevated to the highest office as he ascended to the throne as Robert II of Scotland. A relatively old man at this time - he was 55 - he delegated much of the management of the Kingdom to his sons and seemingly retired to Dundonald Castle.
Now a Royal castle, Dundonald was maintained by the Crown with expenditure recorded in the fifteenth century. It was subsequently let to a number of different individuals ending with the Wallace family of Craigie who built a new residence - Auchan’s Castle - nearby. Despite James V granting the castle to Robert Boyd in 1536, the Wallaces seem to have held onto the property despite attempts to evict them but in 1632 sold it to James Mathieson. He didn't hold onto the castle for long and in 1638 it was sold to Sir William Cochrane. He was elevated to Earl of Dundonald in 1686 in recognition of his support for the Royalist cause and the castle remained with his family until 1953 when it was handed over to the State.

Dowhill Castle & The Viaducts
The first part of this video details my search and subsequent explore of Dowhill Castle, which has a lot going for it. Most old castles I've come across don't have much left bar some walls but this place is full of character with many rooms and multiple staircases to explore. Unfortunately, there's not much information going about the place but hopefully the video will convey just how much this old castle has going for it.
Since I was in the area, I also visited the Leslie Viaduct, which dominates the landscape just south of it's namesake town. The last time I came to the Leslie Viaduct was in January where I comprehensively photographed the structure. The resulting photos ended up on Forgotten Relics to supplement the article written by Forgotten Relics' owner. If you haven't already, take a look at the site as contains a wealth of well written and interesting articles about the UK's abandoned railway infrastructure, complemented by top notch photography*.
On all my previous visits to the Leslie (or Cabbagehall) Viaduct, the field below has provided a great vantage point in which to photograph and get a proper feel for the sense of scale the viaduct holds. However, on this visit, there were cattle below the viaduct so I just viewed it from a distance before retreating. As it happened, the head cow decided it had to get some retribution for my invasion of it's field so as I was returning to my car, said cow was angrily mooing at me and following me along the wall. Thankfully, I don't think it was capable of crossing the wall but I wasn't taking my chances. After I took shelter on a nearby road bridge, the cow eventually retreated and I made my escape.
The final stop of the day was Lower Largo, which unlike most villages in the East Neuk area, benefits from being crossed by a substantial viaduct. The Railway Inn is also a great pub and well worth a visit if you happen to spend any time in Lower Largo.
*I should mention that I was referring to the Forgotten Relics site owners' photos being top notch. He's a great photographer and I greatly appreciate all the light painting tips I've picked up from him on the few occasions we've met. I doubt my underground photography would be what it is today without all his great advice.
Two Valley Lines to clear and two Stations to film (19th June 2019)
The final part of my trip in Wales, Two Valley Lines to clear is to clear the Maesteg and Ebbw Vale Town branch lines which couldn't be done back in 2014.
Also during the day, I visit two railway stations, Bridgend and Pontypridd to do some filming, there is also a visit to Pontypridd Graig Station which a tunnel which boarded up remains.
After a day in South Wales, I heard back on the Transport for Wales Class 67 Locomotive loco haul which starts at Cardiff Central and goes to Holyhead but I only travelling as far as Hereford before heading back to Birmingham New Street on a West Midlands Railway Class 170/Class 153 combination before taking a Class 350 EMU home.

Bitesize Curiosity 1 ► How Limehouse Area in London got its name
Bitesize Curiosities ► Limehouse is an area in Southeast London with a peculiar name. Do not wonder if you hear me saying KILLS in that video. What I am trying to say is KILNS. People were bringing chalk from Kent up the Thames and were burning it in the KILNS to produce lime for the building industry. Those KILNS were in the area since 14th century onwards so the name stucked.

The Tuesday Dalesman - with Log Train Bonus!
Yesterday's soaking up in the fells didn't improve my cough so I took it easy today and went to Culgaith. Somewhere I would never go, normally, as the level crossing gates are so far back that you can hardly see any railway when the gates are down.
Anyway, there I went, rain and wind. After the logs I threw down the brolly, deciding that the wind was a worse enemy than the rain. Train was 7 late at Garsdale and 7 early into Carlisle!

CHAPTER VIII - Far From The Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
CHAPTER VIII: THE MALTHOUSE--THE CHAT--NEWS. Free audiobook of Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd. Audio courtesy of Librivox.
CHAPTER VIII
THE MALTHOUSE--THE CHAT--NEWS
Warren's Malthouse was enclosed by an old wall inwrapped with ivy, and though not much of the exterior was visible at this hour, the character and purposes of the building were clearly enough shown by its outline upon the sky. From the walls an overhanging thatched roof sloped up to a point in the centre, upon which rose a small wooden lantern, fitted with louvre-boards on all the four sides, and from these openings a mist was dimly perceived to be escaping into the night air. There was no window in front; but a square hole in the door was glazed with a single pane, through which red, comfortable rays now stretched out upon the ivied wall in front. Voices were to be heard inside.
Oak's hand skimmed the surface of the door with fingers extended to an Elymas-the-Sorcerer pattern, till he found a leathern strap, which he pulled. This lifted a wooden latch, and the door swung open.
The room inside was lighted only by the ruddy glow from the kiln mouth, which shone over the floor with the streaming horizontality of the setting sun, and threw upwards the shadows of all facial irregularities in those assembled around. The stone-flag floor was worn into a path from the doorway to the kiln, and into undulations everywhere. A curved settle of unplaned oak stretched along one side, and in a remote corner was a small bed and bedstead, the owner and frequent occupier of which was the maltster.
This aged man was now sitting opposite the fire, his frosty white hair and beard overgrowing his gnarled figure like the grey moss and lichen upon a leafless apple-tree. He wore breeches and the laced-up shoes called ankle-jacks; he kept his eyes fixed upon the fire.
Gabriel's nose was greeted by an atmosphere laden with the sweet smell of new malt. The conversation (which seemed to have been concerning the origin of the fire) immediately ceased, and every one ocularly criticised him to the degree expressed by contracting the flesh of their foreheads and looking at him with narrowed eyelids, as if he had been a light too strong for their sight. Several exclaimed meditatively, after this operation had been completed:--
Oh, 'tis the new shepherd, 'a b'lieve.
We thought we heard a hand pawing about the door for the bobbin, but weren't sure 'twere not a dead leaf blowed across, said another. Come in, shepherd; sure ye be welcome, though we don't know yer name.
Gabriel Oak, that's my name, neighbours.
The ancient maltster sitting in the midst turned at this--his turning being as the turning of a rusty crane.
That's never Gable Oak's grandson over at Norcombe--never! he said, as a formula expressive of surprise, which nobody was supposed for a moment to take literally.
My father and my grandfather were old men of the name of Gabriel, said the shepherd, placidly.
Thought I knowed the man's face as I seed him on the rick!--thought I did! And where be ye trading o't to now, shepherd?
I'm thinking of biding here, said Mr. Oak.
Knowed yer grandfather for years and years! continued the maltster, the words coming forth of their own accord as if the momentum previously imparted had been sufficient.
Ah--and did you!
Knowed yer grandmother.
And her too!
Likewise knowed yer father when he was a child. Why, my boy Jacob there and your father were sworn brothers--that they were sure--weren't ye, Jacob?
Ay, sure, said his son, a young man about sixty-five, with a semi-bald head and one tooth in the left centre of his upper jaw, which made much of itself by standing prominent, like a milestone in a bank. But 'twas Joe had most to do with him. However, my son William must have knowed the very man afore us--didn't ye, Billy, afore ye left Norcombe?
No, 'twas Andrew, said Jacob's son Billy, a child of forty, or thereabouts, who manifested the peculiarity of possessing a cheerful soul in a gloomy body, and whose whiskers were assuming a chinchilla shade here and there.
I can mind Andrew, said Oak, as being a man in the place when I was quite a child.
Ay--the other day I and my youngest daughter, Liddy, were over at my grandson's christening, continued Billy. We were talking about this very family, and 'twas only last Purification Day in this very world, when the use-money is gied away to the second-best poor folk, you know, shepherd, and I can mind the day because they all had to traypse up to the vestry--yes, this very man's family.
Come, shepherd, and drink. 'Tis gape and swaller with us--a drap of sommit, but not of much account, said the maltster, removing from the fire his eyes, which were vermilion-red and bleared by gazing into it for so many years. Take up the God-forgive-me, Jacob. See if 'tis warm, Jacob.
