I don't know what it was originally. It has been derelict for a long time, certainly for the 5 years that I have been living near it on Stirling.

I could tell you stories of the railcars and tanks full of slimy, fetid green tannery waste leaking all over the ground, but you'd think I was exaggerating.  I don't know what substances are used in the leather tanning process, but I can't see the site as being anything other than heavily contaminated.
