Europe's LARGEST Granite Quarry - 1BN Tonnes of Material

Glensanda is a 6,000 acre private estate on the west coast of Scotland, owned and operated by Aggregates Industries.

The Infrastructure costs somewhere in the region of £250,000,000 and is one of the world’s biggest quarrying operations.

The site has Viking heritage, a castle and an entire wildlife eco system.

Daniel talks about the History, infrastructure, operations, sustainability plan and how 1 Billion tonnes of granite ended up in the ground!

As an engineer I am deeply troubled by the poor presentation of technical work such as mining, extraction etc. This presentation was the best that I have ever seen. I absolutely love how he explained what biodiversity is in actual English and broke down the terms. I am going to study this video as a Masterclass in presenting engineering content. Thank you for such a great YouTube channel.

It was a pleasure to have you visit Glensanda Daniel - top work explaining what we do as always!

[GeneralThargor]

That's some Attenborough level of documentary from our man Mr. Ashville. I didn't expect this, but I very much enjoyed it. Thanks for doing this, and make more of these, you're a great presenter.

I’m a simple man. I see Ashville video, I like it then watch

[jamesfell]

Great short documentary. I have worked on Glensanda in the engineering department for a total of 18 years, and this is hands down the best presentation about the site I have ever watched. Thanks Daniel, very much enjoyed watching this.

Another properly done segment, Daniel. 🏅

Great to see all the Glensanda Content! Saw you and the team filming at the Quarry and you’ve certainly done it justice! I can show people these videos to explain my job instead of saying I make big rock into small rock! 😂

[paulmartin-chambers]

Amazing video and great to see your skill set growing. From those early videos to being a true entrepreneur, business owner and keeping your roots with those that have supported you. Amazing work Daniel

Evening Daniel, I remember you mentioning that you wanted to supply us with a stand-alone of the Glensanda Quarry when you visited there within your Ashville Weekly episode, and of course it may have taken a while with your admirable work ethics, but your word is your bond, as always, as that’s the kind of person you are, and so much more. Thank you and to all involved for an excellent insight. Have a good evening and rest of the week. Take Care😊❤

THIS IS ENTERTAINING I CAN ALREADY TELL PROUD TO BE A LOYAL SUBSCRIBER THANK YOU DANIEL AND TEAM ASHVILLE

[ecofilterireland]

This is probably one of the best videos you've created

[tomsaunders]

Got to say I love these videos Daniel and Ashville. You smash it, so well broken down for people who aren’t in the industry to make it easy to understand and follow.
Keep up the amazing work and also can I say this Daniel Ashville channel needs to come out soon I’ve been waiting a while 🤣

[joelsvlogsshiimi]

I love Daniel's channel. Can I please request that you make a separate video explaining different types of material and their use

[petewatson]

This break down of Glensanda shows just how much they are thinking of the environment as well as profits and their staff. Excellent Daniel

[innocentndlovu]

A Very Nice presentation. Thank you Daniel

[milkysugars]

Daniel Ashville is a proper inspirational guy

[adamg]
