I have often thought that it would be a useful touristy point and shouldn't cost that much to do .

Coreens?
No, east of the Coreens . It's silimanite gneiss and the nearest source was always suggested as being , from memory , somewhere near Tilliehaslach .(I'll dig out the info ). From T to OK is not the direction of glaciation and also uphill . But there is a possibility of a silimanite gneiss being found closer to OK and higher iirc so much less of a distance and also downhill and maybe even in the direction glaciation .I'll have to dig out the notes for the finer detail .
