About MeRubislaw Quarry was a site which was developed in the 18th century. Originally owned by the City it was passed on to private hands. The Gibb family successfully exploited it into the 19th century and its grey stone furnished the raw material for many of the city's buildings. By the time the quarry closed in 1972 it was over 400 feet deep which made it spectacular to see but extremely difficult to remove stone from.
