Pink Granite of Mull in London.... and Iona Abbey and Robert Louis Stevenson

The granite pillars on Blackfriars Bridge...

...as are elements of Holborn Viaduct...

....as is Iona Abbey....

Robert Louis Stevenson sets part of the story of Kidnapped on the Isle of Erraid, where his father (noted lighthouse builder) worked and who was involved in quarrying the granite.....
