Really interesting report ... the firm who made the Blondins were Hendersons of Aberdeen (still in business today in Arbroath). Afaik, the first Blondin was conceived by John Fyfe, a granite quarry owner in Aberdeenshire, in the late 1800's - they were used in several pit-type quarries around Aberdeen, then quickly taken up by Welsh slate quarries and also dam builders elsewhere too. Pen yr Orsedd may be the only Henderson Blondin still standing - I know that all of them around Aberdeen have been dismantled.
