The land that was to become Scotland has travelled across the globe
over the last 3,000 million years - from close to the South Pole to
its current position. During these travels, there were many
continental collisions, creating mountain belts as high as the
present-day Himalayas. The Highlands of Scotland were formed in
this way. Our climate too has changed dramatically over the last 3
billion years from the deep freeze of the Ice Age to scorching heat
of the desert. And within a relatively short time - geologically
speaking, we will plunge back into another ice age. In Set in
Stone, Alan McKirdy traces Scotland's amazing geological journey,
explaining for the non - specialist reader why the landscape looks
the way it does todays. He also explores Scots and those working in
Scotland have played a seminal role in the development of the
science of geology, understanding Earth processes at a local and
global scale.
