We will see a fascinating variety of rocks covering a huge span of geological time, ranging from the Moine to the Palaeogene. We will also see rocks from the Ordovician, Silurian, Carboniferous, Triassic and Jurassic periods.

A series of short oral presentations by society members, followed by desktop presentations, nibbles and drinks.
We shall be looking at the igneous rocks of the Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation, the Carboniferous sedimentary rocks of the Clyde Sandstone Formation and the Ballagan Beds.
A visit to the former lead mine near Tyndrum followed by a trip to Glen Orchy to examine outcrops of Dalradian rocks
A guided tour of the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre in Nitshill
We will examine 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.
An opportunity to examine Dalradian rocks (slates and grits of the Southern Highland Group) and structures related to the Tay Nappe
In this easy coastal walk we will examine sedimentary structures formed during the Early Carboniferous, the consequent changes of the flora and fauna, and tectonic structures imposed during the Late Carboniferous.
An excursion along the coast of County Antrim, where we will see rocks ranging in age from the Precambrian to the Quaternary and including the North Atlantic Igneous Province.
This conference is aimed at geologists and palaeontologists internationally, and all who have a general interest in Hugh Miller, fossils and the natural world.
We will look at the stones used to clad the buildings and see which are local stone and which come from further afield, and in doing so learn something of their geology.
The festival is aimed at all ages and knowledge levels and will include fun hikes, more serious walks, various family events, and evening talks.
