Guided Walk: Arbroath Cliffs

9 June @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm

- £35

Discover the Secrets of Arbroath’s Ancient Cliffs: A Geology Walk Through Time

Join us for a captivating guided walk along the dramatic Arbroath cliffs, where the very rocks tell the story of Earth’s deep history. At the heart of this adventure lies Whiting Ness unconformity, a breathtaking geological feature that once inspired the pioneering work of James Hutton, the father of modern geology. Here, layers of ancient rock reveal a gap of millions of years, offering a tangible glimpse into the forces that have shaped our planet. As we explore, you’ll uncover how Hutton’s observations at this site laid the foundation for our understanding of Earth’s age and the processes that continue to sculpt its landscapes. With stunning coastal views and expert insights, this walk is perfect for curious minds and nature lovers alike. Tea, coffee, and locally sourced Artisana brownies will be served as we reflect on the wonders beneath our feet.

Booking essential: £35 per person, book your place today https://www.storiesofstone.co.uk/ and step into the story of Earth’s past!
