"This mural was inspired by the history of granite mining in Aberdeen. Granite is traditionally the local building material for the city, giving it the nickname of The Granite City (also The Silver City). It’s a protected building material. The Nuart Aberdeen street artworks can only be applied to non-granite walls – typically gable end and concrete walls. This one took three days to complete". www.aberdeencity.gov.uk
