Are you always picking up stones? The Scottish Geology Trust has launched a campaign called Pieces of Scotland this summer inviting everyone to share their favourite #PiecesOfScotland with us on social media! From #staycation beach pebbles on your windowsill, to beloved museums displays, we would love for you to show us the Scottish rocks that have captured your heart.
Many geologists who studied at UK universities, and many from elsewhere who have been on fieldtrips to the NW Highlands, will have stayed at the Inchnadamph Lodge. Over the years it has become somewhat of an iconic place to stay while working in the Highlands. Earlier this year the NWH Geopark learned that the owner is planning to sell the lodge in the coming year and that a number of hotel chains are interested in purchasing it.
