Abandoned Quarry
The information board at Image] told me that it was possible to walk into the largest of the Stoney Hill quarries, so I turned back along Nigg way to so so. This was the first evidence I came to of the quarrying.

Stoneyhill Quarry (1)
The maps suggests that this is inside one of the old quarries, but there's little evidence of this until you try to walk across the grass and realise that it is full of angular hewn blocks just waiting to trip you up.

Stoneyhill Quarry (2)
Having braved the hidden blocks in Image] and reached the edge of the hollow, it's now pretty obvious that this was a quarry, with all the abandoned blocks still lying where they have been dumped.

Granite Benches
I take it that this is a set of table and benches using some of the granite quarried here in Stoneyhill Quarries. There is no information to confirm this, however; the metal inset in the end of the 'table' says 'Lodgepole', and it seems to have been added since 2006 - see Image
