The dash for granite began in 1741 with the first excavation of Rubislaw Quarry (now known as the ‘Big Black Hole’).
At it’s peak, around the turn of the 20th Century, the granite and mineral industry could boast 127 working quarries in the Aberdeenshire area, supplying both pink and grey granite to the world including our famous landmark Marischal College.
Rubislaw tartan was designed to encapsulate Aberdeen’s historical association with granite and enhance the city’s worldwide reputation as ‘The Granite City’.
