Answer:
The city of Aberdeen in northeast Scotland is the Granite City. The granite was quarried from Rubislaw Quarry which is within the city of Aberdeen. The quarry closed about 30 years ago because there was no more granite left. When it was fully operational, it was the deepest quarry in Europe at 450 feet deep.
