Old travel Blog photograph of Persley Quarry by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The Aberdeen area had many granite quarries, and there was a need for men who had the skill to reduce huge blocks of granite into manageable pieces by chipping it with a variety of hammers, and chisels to produce the required shape and size. Persley quarry was first opened in the late 19th century.
