A pilgrimage I have not made for many years – Hutton’s Unconformity at Lochranza, Arran. The site where Hutton could finally prove the earth was unimaginably ancient. A place of deep history in every way.

Siccar Point is a touchstone in the evolution of geological thinking: the spot where a human mind first reeled at the depths of geologic time. Visiting it was profound, connecting across the centuries with James Hutton and John Playfair, who connected across the eons with the age of the Earth. ⚒️
