IndustryIndustry is mainly rural, but, historically, a significant mining industry existed, particularly of lead, following the discovery of significant quantities in 1837. By the mid 1850s the mine was producing 1,000 tons annually.[7] Mining continued in the area, with peak production between 1906–1914. Following the end of the First World War, the industry collapsed and by 1928 all lead mining operations had ceased.[8] List of listed buildingsList of listed buildings in Carsphairn, Dumfries and GallowayReferences1. ^map of the Rhinns of Kells with hill walking routes 2. ^Holm of Daltallochan stone circle 3. ^Royal Observer Corps database of UK monitoring posts 4. ^Great Britain.
