Scottish Highland Marble Scottish marble is quarried by hand in the Highlands and on the islands of Iona, Mull, and Skye. Often, diving into the cold Atlantic is necessary to access the exposed veins of the marble. Each piece of marble is sorted, cut, ground and polished by hand. On the Scottish islands, green marble has long been considered a lucky stone, and the fishermen of the islands of Iona never leave the harbor without their lucky stone in their pockets.
