The title.
Feel free to ask me stuff. I’m in Scotland, born in Canada. I’ve been a mason for coming on 15 years. And my favourite dinosaur is…not really a dinosaur…the Stenopterygius species. because they’re tubby not quite dolphin looking (apparently) reptiles.
Oh so you’re a stone mason? Name 3 stones!
No seriously, what’s your favourite stone to mason?
Right. So most of what I worked with in Canada was granite and basalt. And the style of Random we mostly did back home is a very different kind of Random Rubble than what gets done here in Scotland. Third picture.

Can’t really say what’s my favourite stone. I miss doing stuff like what’s in the first and second picture in granite. There’s a lot of sandstone and whinstone(this is kinda a catch-all, includes: basalt and dolerite [igneous] and chert [sedimentary]) used in the part of Scotland I’m in.
I guess my favourite stone to work with is the one that looks really fucking good when I’m done?
Below is not something I built, it’s a maintenance job. Remove the fucked mortar and repointing with new.
