Help us celebrate James Hutton’s Tercentenary in 2026

Our Hutton Tercentenary Crowdfunder aims raise vital funds to build a new Deep Time Trail at Siccar Point. This globally significant site is where James Hutton verified his Theory of the Earth by predicting an unconformity. The trail will guide visitors to a viewpoint over Siccar Point and explain the significance of the site and of Hutton’s work, giving all visitors a sense of Deep Time.
