Place of Origin

Place of Origin aims to draw attention to the historic quarry at Kemnay in Aberdeenshire. The project involves the construction of a new vantage point at the Southern rim of the Quarry and the creation of a community woodland leading towards the hill, passing through landscape features which reveal different characteristics of granite.

The project was first started in 1996 and is a collaboration between Kemnay Community Council, Aggregate Industries (owners of the Quarry) and the artist team, supported by the Scottish Sculpture Workshop.
