Rubislaw Quarry
A very deep hole and source of most of Aberdeen's granite. Since closure in 1971 it has filled with water and is 150m deep. It was sold in 2010.
Rubislaw Quarry is notoriously hard to view, and I got here by accident. Stopping to read my map on Queen's Road, I noticed a fence and "danger" signs. Suspecting I was by the famous quarry, I popped up the bank to the fence. In Summer it would probably be hard to see much from here.

Rubislaw Quarry, Aberdeen
The quarry that supplied most of the granite used in the houses of Aberdeen. It closed in 1971 and was said to be the largest man-made hole in Europe. As can be seen, it has since filled with water. The only public viewpoint is through a fence on the Queen's Road side. The buildings seen are oil company offices built in the 1980s.

Apparently, an estimated six million tonnes of granite was extracted from this hole, and much of Aberdeen was built with it.
