Historic Visit for Denfind

23rd September 2016

Historic Environment Scotland visited the quarry today as part of their ‘Staff Away Day in Angus and Perthshire’. The visit was led by Brian Binnie, Owner and Director of Denfind Stone.

The group of 30 representatives spent over an hour with us, which included a short presentation covering the history and quarry/business and a tour of the working quarry and stone operation.

The group included a few well known faces with close links to the business and a few new ones, fortunately the weather was kind to us all and everyone headed happily off to their next destination, Edzell Castle.

Sourcing Stone

Gannochy Bridge in Angus is a Cat B listed bridge built circa 1724, crossing the River North Esk to the north of Edzell. We were recently approached by Kilmac who had been awarded the contract by Angus Council for essential repairs, to see if we could source and provide stone to match the project. We were able to provide a match, greatly reducing the lead in time for the contractor and as a result, the project was completed ahead of schedule.

Caird Park Bridge

Within the past couple of months, Tayside Contracts and Land & Building Services completed the construction of a new road bridge in Caird Park in Dundee, to improve access ahead of work commencing on the new Regional Performance Centre for Sport. Denfind Stone worked closely with Land & Building to ensure the correct stone products were used in the construction. A concrete structure was assembled and Denfind Stone was clad onto the structure to give it a more natural finish. You can click on the link below to see time-lapse footage of the full construction and the finished result, which we are sure you will agree looks great. Time Lapse video
