Formerly granite quarrying was an important part of the Dalbeattie economy. The industry died down locally around 1883 due to cheaper imports from Denmark.

Many of the workers emigrated to other parts of the world in order to find work, a number emigrated to the United States to work at a sister quarry in Westerly, Rhode Island. Granite exported from Dalbeattie went into the Mersey Docks in Liverpool, the Thames Embankment in London, various British lighthouses, even as far as the lighthouse at the southern tip of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Dalbeattie is credited with developing the technique of polishing granite stone to form a shiny surface. This technique was exported throughout the world by the skilled workers of Dalbeattie as they travelled.

Hetland Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, very friendly helpful staff. Foo was excellent. Rooms lovely. Hotel is rutal, so 4 stars is simply not a lot around - but if looking for a quiet rural hotel excellent. Simple facilities- if being really picky, could do with access to movies or streaming from room's tv."
