Set in Stone: The Geology and Landscapes of Scotland

Set in Stone: The Geology and Landscapes of Scotland

The land that was to become Scotland has travelled across the globe over the last 3,000 million years â€“ from close to the South Pole to its current position. During these travels, there were many continental collisions, creating mountain belts as high as the present-day Himalayas. Our climate too has changed dramatically over the last 3 billion years from the deep freeze of the Ice Age to scorching heat of the desert. And within a relatively short time â€“ geologically speaking, we will plunge back into another ice age. In Set in Stone, Alan McKirdy traces Scotlandâ€™s amazing geological journey.
