Our company
Denfind Stone began trading in 2004 when Brian and Alison Binnie recognised that a disused Angus sandstone quarry on their farm had the potential to meet the growing demand for local, high quality, natural and aesthetically sympathetic building materials.
During the 19th and early 20th Centuries Pitairlie Quarry was at the heart of the thriving Angus Sandstone industry. This industry provided stone for use in many projects throughout the UK and Europe until around the outbreak of the first World War when demand dwindled, and the Quarry ceased production in 1915.
Since reopening the Quarry, the business has relocated into a purpose-built production facility, housing state of the art stone processing machinery which enables us to supply an extensive natural stone product range.
Denfind Stone is fundamentally a local family business, with a commitment to providing the highest level of quality stone products, customer care and service to our clients.

Brian Binnie
Owner & Director
Brian started Denfind Stone back in 2001 following the purchase of the disused quarry. He has lived on, and farmed, Denfind Farm for over fifty years. The purchase of the old sandstone quarry adjacent to the farm gave him and Ali, his wife, the opportunity to diversify and meet the growing demand for natural building products that were sourced in Scotland.
