SUMMARY:Ardnamurchan
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Con Gillen \nField days: Friday (afternoon)/ Saturday/ Sunday/ Monday (morning) \nThis trip was originally planned to take place in 2020\, but was cancelled because of Covid-19. Priority will be given to those members who had expressed interest in the original excursion. \nThe Ardnamurchan peninsula\, which includes the most westerly point of the Scottish mainland\, is composed mainly of the remains of an early Palaeogene volcano with three centres of activity. Part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province which includes Mull\, Rum and Skye\, it was erupted into Moine metasedimentary rocks and overlain by a sequence of thin sedimentary rocks. Ardnamurchan displays classic geology on a colossal scale\, with features such as mixed magma\, ash flows\, ring dykes\, cone sheets and examples of “airfall” rocks formed from lava ejected from the heart of the volcano – it is regarded as almost a “textbook volcano”. A drive across the peninsula is a journey through its magma chamber. Its overall structure is difficult to perceive on the ground but from space the picture is much clearer – rings of once molten magma can be seen to define a series of almost perfect circles. These are the lower parts of the volcano after the superstructure has been planed off by erosion\, in this case\, effectively\, by the last Ice Age. We plan to visit significant localities of igneous\, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and there may also be the opportunity to sail to Tobermory (whales!) for those who wish to do less climbing! \nAccommodation will be B & B in Kilchoan etc.; transport will be in shared cars. \nThis excursion is now fully booked.

SUMMARY:Islay
DESCRIPTION:Leader: David Webster \nField days: Friday (afternoon)/ Saturday/ Sunday/ Monday (morning) \nAfter having had to cancel our “2nd Islay trip” of last April due to Covid-19\, we are now tentatively planning to run it from Friday September 10 to Monday September 13 2021. This trip is a repeat of that of April 2019 in which we visited key localities with the aid of A Guide to the Geology of Islay by David Webster\, Roger Anderton & Alasdair Skelton (see report in the Proceedings of Session 161). However\, we may also include a sail over to the island of Jura. \nThe geology of Islay is amazingly varied – 1800 Ma gneiss\, Precambrian metasediments and fossil stromatolites\, the famous Port Askaig Tillite (possible “Snowball Earth”?)\, low grade metamorphic Dalradian rocks retaining original sedimentary structures\, reactivated and reversed extensional faults\, substantial mineralisation\, 60 Ma igneous intrusions (opening of the Atlantic Ocean) and a large selection of Quaternary Ice Age features. \nThe excursion was not advertised earlier because the limited places were offered to people on the reserve list for the 2019 excursion. \nAccommodation will be B&B in Bowmore. \nWe will use shared private cars\, (no minibus) and\, as parking is tight at most localities\, we are restricting the number of people to 16. Some Covid restrictions may also still apply. \nThe trip is now almost full. However\, anyone interested should contact Maggie Donnelly at restrips@gsocg.org.

SUMMARY:Anglesey
DESCRIPTION:Field days: Monday/ Tuesday/ Wednesday/ Thursday \nLeader: Chris Arkwright \nThis is a 5-night trip with 4 days in the field. \nAnglesey is regarded as a “classic” area of British geology; while its oldest rocks appear to be unrelated to those of the rest of the British Isles\, the remainder provide a detailed record of events which led to the formation of southern Britain. Formed between 650 and 300 Ma\, they include high grade gneisses\, a granite pluton\, metasediments\, sandstones\, mudstones and the famous Anglesey Blueschists. There are also Paleogene dykes and abundant glacial features. A number of NE–SW faults slice the island into blocks; large sandstones blocks are thought by some geologists to mark the location of an ancient subduction zone. The original map was published in 1920 and BGS is currently undertaking a project of new research into the island’s geology. \nMore information about the geology of Anglesey can be found on the BGS website. \nAccommodation will be in B&B and means of travel has yet to be decided. \nThe trip is now almost full; if you wish more details please email the society’s residential excursions secretary\, Maggie Donnelly.

SUMMARY:Dalry & Saltcoats
DESCRIPTION:I surveyed some members asking if they had any requests for places to visit this summer. Several members stated that back in 2002 they had thoroughly enjoyed an excursion to Dalry and Saltcoats and asked if we could go there again. We are therefore recreating this visit with the same leader and hopefully the same glorious weather that accompanied the original trip. Trilobite-bearing limestone\, exotic sills\, dykes and fossilised trees are all on the menu. \nLeader: Dr Colin MacFadyen \nPricing/ Booking Information \n£30 deposit. This is set at a level to recover the anticipated costs of the trip. A small financial adjustment may be made on the bus on the day of the trip. \nAdditional Information \nLeaving Gregory Building at 9:00\, returning at 18:00\, travelling by coach

SUMMARY:Northern Lake District
DESCRIPTION:As an experiment\, I am trying a slightly longer trip this year in the hope that fewer of our members have already seen the geology. I am assuming around 3 hours on the bus each way. The trip is a walk of about 2.5 km up the Glenderaterra valley from the car park at the Blencathra Field Centre with 4-6 stops along the path\, returning the same way\, so a total of 5 km of easy going. The main theme is contact metamorphism and mineralisation in the Skiddaw Slate around the Skiddaw Granite. There are pubs in Threlkeld and the intention is to head there for an evening meal around 5 pm before heading back up the road. \nLeader: Dr Simon Cuthbert \nPricing/ Booking Information \n£40 deposit. This is set at a level to recover the anticipated costs of the trip. A small financial adjustment may be made on the bus on the day of the trip. \nAdditional Information \nLeaving Gregory Building at 9:00\, returning at 21:00\, travelling by coach

SUMMARY:Ballantrae Complex
DESCRIPTION:The Ballantrae region is of international importance because of the presence there of the Ballantrae Complex\, an association of serpentenite\, chert and pillow lavas that represents an ophiolite. There are many interesting geological localities in this area. Con is currently assessing which sites to visit on our excursion bearing in mind accessibility to a coach party and time limitations. \nLeader: Dr Con Gillen \nPricing/ Booking Information \n£30 deposit.

SUMMARY:St Abb's Head
DESCRIPTION:St Abb’s Head is a rocky promontory by the village of St Abbs in Berwickshire\, and a national nature reserve administered by the National Trust of Scotland. The layered sedimentary rocks of greywacke and siltstone which lie to the north and south of the Head were laid down at the bottom of the sea between 460 and 410 million years ago. The Head itself is made from hard volcanic rock which formed as lava flowed from volcanoes around 400 million years ago. The different types of rock account for the contrast in colour between the rocks of the Head and those of mainland cliffs. The softer sedimentary rocks have eroded over time\, leaving behind the high headland made from the harder rock. \nLeader: Dr Con Gillen \nPricing/ Booking Information \n£40 deposit. This is set at a level to recover the anticipated costs of the trip. A small financial adjustment may be made on the bus on the day of the trip. \nAdditional Information \nLeaving Gregory Building at 9:00\, returning at 19:00\, travelling by coach

SUMMARY:Blairskaith Quarry
DESCRIPTION:Blairskaith Quarry is set into the southfacing slopes of Blairskaith Muir between Torrance and Milngavie. A brick-clay pit abandoned since the late 1970s\, it is significant for both its abundant extinct fossils and habitats supporting a variety of plant and animal life\, with large shallow pools of water that last throughout the year and some well-drained lime-rich soils. The quarry is a Local Nature Conservation Site. \nFollowing our time at the quarry we will head to the Torrance Inn for an evening meal. \nJoint excursion with the Edinburgh Geological Society \nLeader: Dr Neil Clark \nPricing/ Booking Information \n£30 deposit. This is set at a level to recover the anticipated costs of the trip. A small financial adjustment may be made on the bus on the day of the trip. There will be an additional charge\, payable on the day\, for the meal at the Torrance Inn (£16.50 for two courses or £19.50 for three courses). \nAdditional Information \nLeaving Gregory Building at 9:00\, returning at 19:00\, travelling by coach

SUMMARY:The geology of Aberdeenshire – mountains\, glens and coast
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Con Gillen \nField days: Friday(afternoon)/Saturday/Sunday/Monday(morning) \nOverview\nDevonian lavas and sedimentary rocks; Highland Border Complex (with superb pillow lavas); Highland Boundary Fault; ORS/Dalradian unconformity; Dalradian structure and metamorphism; Caledonian and post-Caledonian granites\, gabbros\, migmatites\, dykes and breccia pipes. \nItineraries\nFriday 14: half-day – Crawton (4 miles south of Stonehaven\, on the A92\, lunchtime); ORS (lavas and sediments); (Glasgow-Crawton 130 miles\, 2.5 hours) \nSaturday 15: full-day – Dunnottar Castle to Stonehaven – ORS/HBC/HBF/Dal \nSunday 16: full-day – Aberdeen area – granites\, younger basics\, migmatite\, breccia\, Dalradian \nMonday 17: half-day – Ballater to Braemar – Grampian Group Dalradian\, granites\, skarns\, glacial scenery. Return to Glasgow after lunch (100 miles\, 2.5 hours) \nExposures are fairly easily accessible\, with some longer flat walks and some ascents. Walking will be fairly easy on paths\, but shore sections and grassy hill slopes could be wet and slippery. Good boots essential; and warm clothes\, waterproofs etc.\, as usual. The two full days will be quite long\, departing 9am\, return 6pm.  Packed lunches required on all days. We will probably need to rationalise car use on the Sat/Sun. Our leader will provide grid refs for each day in case people are travelling from different places\, and will have notes and maps. Basically\, though\, the excursions are from the Aberdeen guide (Trewin\, Kneller\, Gillen\, 1987) – now out of print but available online via the Aberdeen Geological Society. However\, we hope to have copies of the relevant excursions. \nAccommodation will be in B & B and travel in shared cars. \nFor more details please email the Residential Excursions Secretary\, Maggie Donnelly\, at restrips@gsocg.org. \n \nMore information about the Highland Boundary Fault at Stonehaven can be found here.

SUMMARY:Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Derek Fabel\n\nChoice of 10:00 am or 2:00 pm visits\n\nOn 9th March 2017\, we had a very interesting lecture from Derek Fabel about how his laboratory undertakes precise and accurate measurement of isotopes in minerals and rocks. The procedures used to isolate and analyse isotopes involve isotope ratio mass spectrometry in a variety of forms depending on the isotopic system being utilised. Radiocarbon and surface exposure dating rely on being able to measure the abundance of extremely rare radioisotopes in the sample material using a technique called accelerator mass spectrometry. This tour of the laboratory will take you behind the scenes of extremely rare isotope metrology at SUERC to illustrate the complexity and effort involved in making these types of measurements.\n\nEach tour will last for approximately 1.5 hours. There is room for a maximum of 10 people per tour; please advise if you would prefer to be on the 10am or 2pm visit.\n\nNo charge \nMeet outside the SUERC at 09:45 for the 10:00 start or at 13.45 for the 14:00 start (own transport). \nScottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC)\nRankine Avenue\nScottish Enterprise Technology Park\nEast Kilbride\nG75 0QF.

SUMMARY:Spireslack Quarry
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Graham Leslie\n\nThe opencast coal site at Spireslack in East Ayrshire delivers a unique and stunning geological exposure.\n\nThe late 18th to mid-20th century industrial prosperity of Scotland and its urban development depended upon the extensive deposits of approximately 325 million year old Carboniferous coal\, ironstone and oil shale. This site could be retained for a wide range of uses and re-developed during restoration to provide a rich visitor and/or learning experience of coal geology\, the coal industry and a former way of life for previous generations of Scots. Imaginatively and constructively restored\, Spireslack could deliver a unique\, natural rock laboratory for industry and university training and research. BGS is working closely with the Scottish Mines Restoration Trust to find ways of doing so.\n\n£20 deposit. This is set at a level to recover the anticipated costs of the trip. A small financial adjustment may be made on the bus on the day of the trip. \nLeaving Gregory Building at 9:00\, returning at 19:00\, travelling by coach

SUMMARY:Raasay\, Inner Hebrides
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Brian Bell \nField days: Friday(afternoon)/Saturday/Sunday/Monday(morning) \nThe island of Raasay comprises a wide range of well-exposed rocks within the Hebridean Terrane\, ranging from Archaean gneisses of the Lewisian Complex and the unconformably overlying Proterozoic clastic sedimentary rocks of the so-called Torridonian Supergroup\, through to glacial deposits of the Pleistocene epoch. Mesozoic strata include various continental clastic sedimentary rocks\, overlain by marine and estuarine deposits of the Lower and Middle Jurassic Period\, including the Raasay Ironstone Formation. Palaeogene igneous activity resulted in both intrusive and extrusive units – lavas and granite. Pleistocene glacial activity produced diamictites and erratics\, and striae on the harder rocks\, while active landslips occur in the south-east of the island. This excursion aims to examine the entire range of rocks\, and the industrial archaeology of the Raasay ironstone mine will also be addressed. \nThis trip is now fully booked. However\, there is a waiting list. If you are interested please contact the Residential Excursions Secretary\, Maggie Donnelly\, at restrips@gsocg.org.

SUMMARY:Tour of Snowball Earth - Islay
DESCRIPTION:This two day excursion will be led by society member David Webster. The planned itinerary is as follows. \nDay 1. A guided tour of two key localities (Beannan Dubh near Ballygrant and Fionn Phort near Port Askaig) illustrating the 650 million year old glaciation that probably covered the whole world at that time (“Snowball Earth”). The aim is to demonstrate the transition into the snowball event (Lossit Limestone) and review the sedimentology of the glacial deposits (Port Askaig Tillite). \nDay 2. A full day visit to the remote north coast of Islay to view the classic stromatolite bioherms in the Bonahaven Dolomite plus some spectacular igneous intrusions and glacial features. A less strenuous alternative to Caol Isla and Bunnahabhain will be offered if group fitness & weather dictate. It may be possible to charter a local boat to return walkers from Rhuval lighthouse. This would save the 2-hour return walk but will be chargeable at cost and is dependent on weather\, tide and boatman availability. \nThis event is part of Scotland’s first national Geoheritage Festival\, which runs from 1-31 October 2017. The full programme for the festival can be found here. \n\n+ GOOGLE CALENDAR+ ICAL EXPORT

SUMMARY:Linn Park - Glasgow's mini Grand Canyon?
DESCRIPTION:Linn Park is one of Glasgow’s hidden gems – a deep rocky gorge and an impressive waterfall tucked away in the busy southside suburbs. The rocks tell a story of Glasgow’s long distant past\, many millions of years ago\, when volcanoes and tropical coal-swamps dominated the landscape. The gorge was carved through the tough rocks by the White Cart river (merely thousands of years ago!) when it was swollen by melt water from the Ice Age glaciers. Water and coal have since powered Glasgow’s industrial revolution and if you look carefully you can still find traces of it in the woods and river banks\, slowly being reclaimed by Nature. \nSociety member Simon Cuthbert will lead a short\, easy walk along the White Cart Water to explore Linn Park’s geology\, landscape and industrial past. The walk will take about an hour. Everybody is welcome – you don’t need any previous experience of geology. \nThis event is part of Scotland’s first national Geoheritage Festival\, which runs from 1-31 October 2017. The full programme for the festival can be found here.

SUMMARY:Solway coast - Southerness to Powillimount
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Chris Burton\n\nThe coastal section from Southerness to Powillimount within the Kirkbean Outlier forms part of the northern margin of the Solway-Northumbrian Basin which lies between the Southern Uplands to the north and the Lake District to the south. The northern margin of the basin is locally formed by the North Solway Fault\, the basin itself being an extensional basin active during the Early Carboniferous (Dinantian). Synsedimentary faulting\, downthrowing to the south\, combined with cyclical sea-level changes to produce a wide range of sediments from open\, shallow marine limestones and mudrocks to floodplain sandstones\, silts and coals as the basin-fill developed. Faunas and floras responded to these changing conditions\, and the excursion will track these responses and their resulting ecologies\, as well as the various sedimentary structures to be seen\, and also the tectonic structures imposed on the basin during the Late Carboniferous. Around 2 km of easy coastal walking.\n\n£20 deposit. This is set at a level to recover the anticipated costs of the trip. A small financial adjustment may be made on the bus on the day of the trip. \nLeaving Gregory Building at 8:00\, returning at 19:00\, travelling by coach

SUMMARY:Comrie including Highland Boundary Fault and Earthquake House
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Simon Cuthbert\n\nComrie lies on the Highland Boundary Fault and has been called the “Shakin’ Town” because of the frequent seismic activity there\, especially during the 19th century. Our visit will focus mainly on the geology in the Grampian block immediately to the north of the fault where we will explore beautifully exposed examples of contact metamorphic changes to the Dalradian Aberfoyle slate adjacent to a late Caledonian diorite intrusion\, the Comrie pluton at Craig More. We will visit the famous “Earthquake House” by The Ross\, just west of the town and see an early example of a seismometer. In the afternoon we will take a walk from Comrie along Glen Lednock to see the De’il’s Cauldron waterfall where the River Lednock has incised a rock-cut gorge\, and finally return to the Comrie pluton to examine the igneous rocks themselves and their contact relations with the country-rocks. Comrie has some excellent opportunities for cake\, and if we are not too long delayed on the rocks we may wish to explore these\, too! The trip will involve a few kilometres of variably rough and boggy walking\, sometimes quite steep for short intervals.\n\n£20 deposit.
