About MeJohn Fyfe was born at 'Goodhope', Bucksburn in 1830. He owned granite quarries at Blackburn and Kemnay. From the Kemnay quarry came the stone for the Town House and Marischal College. He was probably the most influential granite quarrier of his generation and an immense presence in the Scottish industry. He married Barbara Stevenson in 1868, had a family of eight daughters and two sons. He had built and lived in Beechgrove House, which until recently demolished, housed the BBC. He died in 1906.
