065 | This name applies to a very extensive quarry situate on the estate of Kirkhill, about ½ a mile south of the parish school. The stone is Aberdeen granite and is said to be of a fine quality, nearly the whole being sent to England, and chiefly to London. It was commenced in 1823 - on account of the separate openings the plural form is always used in the name. Property of Sir Alexander Bannerman. The name also in a manner embraces a few houses about the quarry in which the workmen and others reside. |
