SUMMARY:North West Highlands Geopark: The North Coast Geotour
DESCRIPTION:The North Coast Geotour will consist of 8 field days and has two more field days than the other geotours and is based in Durness. Transport via minibus will be available from Ullapool to Durness\, all field localities and the return trip back to Ullapool. If Geotour participants wish to use their own transport that is also an option. The Geotour will again be led by Pete Harrison\, the NW Highlands Geopark Geologist. \nOn arrival in Durness\, there will then be 6 days fieldwork in the local area. Two days around Durness\, two around Loch Eriboll\, one further east to Tongue and a day to Cape Wrath via a ferry and minibus. \nIn Durness\, there is hotel\, self-catering\, guesthouse & B & B and hostel type accommodation available as well as a campsite.

SUMMARY:Geowalks Geology Holidays: Isle of Eigg
DESCRIPTION:The small Hebridean island of Eigg is an enchanting mix: beautiful scenery\, a surprising variety of rocks\, and a friendly and innovative local community. There are many geological riches to explore\, including important fossil-rich sedimentary rocks and the singing sands\, fringed by sandstone cliffs that are cut by basalt dykes. The famous Sgùrr forms the high point of the island. \nEigg is mostly formed from basalt lava flows and intrusions\, the remains of extensive volcanic activity 60 million years ago. These are underlain by sedimentary rocks from the Jurassic Period. The rocks of An Sgùrr were formed by a final\, violent volcanic eruption\, the last known volcanic activity in this area. This trip will explore Eigg’s geological variety\, in day walks around the island including the west coast\, the south of the island and An Sgùrr. \nJoin geologist Angus Miller for this Geowalks Geology Holiday\, exploring Eigg in a series of day walks\, at a relaxed pace with lots of flexibility. \nFurther information and booking

SUMMARY:Glasgow Science Festival - Urban Geology Walk with The Hunterian
DESCRIPTION:Explore the hidden world of ancient geology in the heart of Glasgow! \nJoin Katie Strang\, Hunterian Curator of Rocks and Minerals\, for a guided urban geology walk\, uncovering the the amazing stories behind the rocks that make up the University of Glasgow’s Gilmorehill Campus. \nFrom carboniferous sandstone and Jurassic limestone\, to stunning pink granites and 400-million-year-old fossil fish in the pavements\, discover a remarkable range of rocks that tell the story of Earth’s history over hundreds of millions of years. \nThis fun and interactive walk is perfect for curious explorers who want to explore the amazing stories behind the rocks that make up our city. \nFree\, booking essential. Book here. \nThis event is part of Glasgow Science Festival 2025. \n  \n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information \nThe route will start at the University of Glasgow Gilbert Scott Building and will mostly follow pavements and established paths around the main campus\, but there are some moderate inclines and uneven/cobbled paths. \nWe will look at points of interest around the Gilbert Scott Building and Professor’s Square\, then onto University Avenue and St Mungo’s Square\, finishing up on Dumbarton Road outside the Adam Smith Business School. \nThere are some sections with steps but alternative lift access is available (via lift in the Gilbert Scott Building and lift in the Adam Smith Business School).

SUMMARY:North West Highlands Geopark: Earth Mind Geotour
DESCRIPTION:In her book Weathering\, author\, psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen explores geological processes as a metaphor for human life and experience. In this first-of-a-kind workshop\, in the beautiful wilds of the NW Highlands\, Ruth will take you on a sensory and creative journey of self-discovery around sites of geological interest where you will have the chance to learn about this stunning part of the world\, and connect deeply with yourself and the landscape around you\, inspired by some of the oldest rocks in Europe. \nTogether we will consider our relationship with deep and dynamic time\, connect with themes of resilience and resourcing for the pressurised lives we live\, spend nourishing time learning to listen to the slow world of rock\, and plenty more besides.
