Beschreibung

Discover the untold story of the granite men who built a civilization.

The granite industry of north-east Scotland, now silent, once fueled the world. From the 16th century castles to the 19th century's iconic structures, Aberdeen granite defined an age. It paved London's streets, built bridges over the Thames, and sculpted monuments for royalty and commoners worldwide.

Granite Men unveils the lives of the quarrymen and artisans who toiled in Scotland's granite quarries and yards. Explore their social conditions, labor relations, and the technological innovations that shaped this unyielding material into lasting legacies. Why buy now? Unearth the hidden history of an industry that built the world.

Discover the untold story of the granite men who built a civilization.
