Thanks for your reply. The Ratho quarry is the Hillwood Quarry, which I've send an email to ask them on visiting. I'll keep you posted on any response I get. Also, I'll see what I can find out on the Orrock quarry. It seems to be owned by Ennstone, but their website isn't working so no contact information yet.
