Scotland beneath the surface – exploring the natural and man-made heritage under our feet

Bruce Keith with regale us with highlights from his latest book, “Scotland beneath the surface”. It’s a subterranean odyssey exploring the natural and man-made heritage under our feet, from natural caves to hollow mountains for hydro power generation, from railway tunnels to underground tanks and bunkers and from fossils to the mining of fossil fuels.

Bruce Keith is a retired chartered surveyor and chartered environmentalist. He started his career on several Aberdeenshire estates before joining the Department of Agriculture in Edinburgh. In 1996 he migrated south of the border as Chief Surveyor with English Nature. Bruce retired ten years ago as Head of Property at SSE (Scottish and Southern Energy plc – the Hydro Board) – the largest renewable energy company in the UK and Ireland.
