Hi Jim,
Thanks for putting up this picture, however it is not the Pates Knowes smelter, but the later, Meadowfoot one!
The former has no visible flues going up the hill, whearas in the latter, the wooden uprights could still be seen until recently.
As is shown, as you noted, in the photograph

Hi John,

Many thanks for correcting my error, I'll remove it from Pates Knowe and put onto to the Queensberry smelter site, as I said in't not one of dad's best but of passing historic interest.

Jim
