Yes, Arran would be wonderful, we'll look forward to getting there. It would also be interesting to see the unconformity at Siccar Point, from Hutton's offshore perspective. It's on the bucket list. :) Warm wishes, Duncan.Duncan and Joan Barwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696525297637660026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-14653042626786375912015-03-12T18:54:50.808+00:002015-03-12T18:54:50.808+00:00Hi Duncan that was a great day out.

I learned about him first from my dad when we would go for long walks in southern Ontario, examining Precambrian rocks along the way. Joan and I also visited Dynamic Earth a couple of weeks ago, reminded me again all about Hutton - just had to get to Holyrood Park after that. It was a great day. Warm wishes to you.

Sure, a hill has only one summit but as you've shown it has thousands of points of interest :o) James Hutton is a hero of mine, a truly remarkable and inquiring mind and a tough outdoorsman....<br /><br />Warm wishes to you both<br /><br />:-)Ian Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130778756061507141noreply@blogger.com
