Have you ever wondered what the rocks are underneath your feet when you take your dog for a walk down a rocky beach? Or what rocks make up the mountains in the highlands… or the islands of Scotland? These rocks are millions, sometimes billions of years old and formed within a vast variety of different environments. A normal person would just walk over them not even know this or think of this and just think of it as any other rock…
Scotlands geology is so vast… it’s incredible… geologists from across the world come to Scotland to look at the geology to understand what’s going on in the current big mountain chains that are developing today.
Luisa will provide a brief basic summary of the geological history of Scotland in general and explain some of the processes that took place in the geological record which make up Scotland’s geology today.
About the speaker: Luisa Hendry, also known as @scottishgeologist on instagram and TikTok, or as @scotgeologist on Twitter, is a Senior Engineering Geologist that spends her spare time making educational and entertaining videos about geology.
