Aberdeen Granite was sourced from numerous quarries situated within, and near to, the city of Aberdeen (in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire). The stone comes from the Aberdeen Granite Pluton, which formed during the Ordovician Period (c. 475 million years ago) when Scotland was south of the Equator at roughly the same latitude as southern Angola is today. The stone was used locally, regionally and nationally, mainly to form masonry and paving. Aberdeen Granite is not quarried for building stone today.
