SUMMARY:Exhibition at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh: Earth Matters
DESCRIPTION:Earth Matters marks the tercentenary of the birth of the Edinburgh-born geologist\, writer and farmer\, James Hutton (1726-1797). Often described as the ‘father of modern geology’\, Hutton is known for his ground-breaking theories into the Earth’s creation and his exploration of rock formation. Hutton also gave much attention to the earth beneath our feet – soil. \nEarth Matters is inspired by Hutton and subsequent trailblazers who have helped challenge and change our understanding of soil. Earth Matters will explore Hutton’s writings on soil and include the rarely exhibited ‘Lost Drawings’ by his contemporary\, the artist and writer John Clerk of Eldin. Through art\, craft and design dating from the 18th century to the present-day\, Earth Matters will illuminate the vital beauty and brilliance of earth. \nPresented by Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in partnership with Design Exhibition Scotland~\nInverleith House\, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh\nFriday 20 March – Sunday 1 November\, 10:30am – 4:30pm\nDrop in – Free \n\n \n\nAn event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: James Hutton and Glen Tilt
DESCRIPTION:The sculptor Jake Harvey and artist Helen Douglas were commissioned by Blair Charitable Trust to create sculptures and printed works using Glen Tilt\, which runs for several miles Northerly from Blair Atholl\, and the discoveries of the geologist James Hutton in that glen as their inspiration. Their works alongside various artefacts relating to James Hutton’s visit to the glen in 1785 are on display in the Banvie Hall within Blair Castle. The exhibition runs until 30th October. \nThe exhibition is part of a nation wide celebration of the tercentenary of James Hutton (1726-1797)\, the polymath and founder of modern geology. It is in the glen running into Blair Castle that Hutton made one of his great discoveries unlocking the theory of deep time. This is the inspiration behind the artists’ work and we hope their beautiful work brings Hutton’s discovery to life. \nExhibition location: Inside the Banvie Hall at Blair Castle\, located towards the northern end of the castle\, through the glass entrance doors. \nExhibition admission: Included with a Castle or a Gardens & Grounds ticket. \nIf you have a Gardens & Grounds ticket\, please enter via the Banvie Hall entrance. Castle ticket holders will exit their tour through the Banvie Hall where they can view the exhibition. \nAccessibility information: This exhibition is fully accessible to all via the Banvie Hall entrance. Wheelchair accessible toilets are available inside the Banvie Hall. \n\n \n\nAn event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: James Hutton at 300: His Specimens and his Theory of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:Through detailed study of geological specimens and observations gathered in the field\, Hutton learned to “read” the rocks – revealing evidence of immense spans of time\, erosion\, and renewal. \nThis new exhibition at National Museums Scotland explores how the careful study of both dramatic landscapes and small rock samples led Hutton to develop his groundbreaking Theory of the Earth\, laying the foundations for our modern understanding of geology and deep time.\n \nFind it on Level 3 of the Grand Gallery from 1st June through the end of the year. Open daily 10:00 – 17:00\, free admission. \n\n \n\nAn event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust. Please support us: Discover – Support – Join.
