Join Angus Miller from Geowalks for a guided walk to Siccar Point. It is Scotland’s most important geological site, but Siccar Point is tucked away on the rugged coastline of the Scottish Borders, a hidden gem with beautiful coastal scenery and a rich geological story.
We’ll get to the point by following James Hutton’s journey along the coast from Cockburnspath, gradually travelling back in time through three periods of contrasting sedimentary rocks. This is a varied walk along the coastal path from Cockburnspath to Pease Bay and on to the viewpoint above Siccar Point. The rocks lie at the foot of a steep grassy slope; it is not essential to descend all the way down the slope to see the key features. Distance 6km one-way.
Cost: £20, free for young people. Booking essential. See the Geowalks website for booking and further information.
An event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2024, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust. Please support us: Discover – Support – Join.
