Join Dr Katie Strang for a guided walk to explore the urban geology around the University of Glasgow’s Gilmorehill Campus. This circular walk will start and finish outside Kelvin Hall, and we’ll examine the geology of the building stones and materials that have been used around the University Campus. From carboniferous sandstone to jurassic limestone, and gorgeous pink granites to 400 million year old fossil fish in the pavements, we’ll see an awesome variety of rocks which span hundreds of millions of years of Earth’s history.

Tuesday 2nd September at 6pm – 7:30pm. Meeting point – outside Kelvin Hall Open Collections on 1445 Argyle Street (where it meets Bunhouse Road and Partick Bridge), Glasgow, G3 8AW. what3words – ///squad.clues.elite
