The weather in Scotland, notorious for its unpredictability, decided to bless us with an exceptionally fine day on the 18th of January, allowing participants of the annual meeting to traverse the steep coastal slopes of Siccar Point. Here, we marveled at the exposed Silurian basal conglomerates, intricately overlain by the Devonian riverine delta deposits.

Under the expert guidance of Tim Kearsey, our coastal walks transformed into captivating journeys through time. The geological wonders unveiled before us sparked eye-opening discussions and provided us with amazing insights into Scottish geology. Tim's expertise and passion for the subject brought the rocks to life, making the ancient formations tell stories of Earth's history.

As we strolled by the seaside, the landscape transformed into an open-air classroom, and Tim's explanations painted a vivid picture of the geological processes that shaped the region. It was an educational experience like no other, with every step revealing new layers of understanding about Scotland's fascinating geological past.

This excursion was more than just a field trip; it was a journey through time and geology, leaving each participant with a deeper appreciation for the natural wonders around us. The EGT-TWINN project participants are eager to share their detailed insights into the geological aspects of the day in an upcoming blog post on our homepage. Stay tuned for a comprehensive exploration of the rocks, formations, and the rich geological history that unfolded during this remarkable excursion!
