Speaker: Dr Con Gillen

Zoom meeting. Opens 19:20, 10 minutes before the scheduled event start time.

Dr Con Gillen did a structural geology PhD at the University of Glasgow. His notable publications include the popular ‘Geology and Landscapes of Scotland’. He is Director of Lifelong Learning at the University of Edinburgh.

This talk will take you on a geological journey across Scotland’s west coast islands, from St Kilda in the north to Ailsa Craig in the south. The route covers the ancient rocks of the Lewisian complex in the Outer Hebrides, to Moine rocks of the Northern Highlands ‘terrane’, then Dalradian of the Grampian and Argyll Highlands and Old Red Sandstone, Carboniferous and Permian-Triassic rocks of the Midland Valley. We will cross the Outer Hebrides Fault, the Moine Thrust and the Great Glen and Highland Boundary faults. Highlights include the volcanic and intrusive igneous rocks of the Hebridean province, of Paleogene age, with the famous Fingal’s Cave on Staffa and the Black Cuillin gabbro hills of Skye. The islands showcase some of Scotland’s best geology and landscapes.
