Event Reminder: The Geology of Islay and Whisky, Wednesday 9th February

Wednesday 9th February at 7.30pm on zoom

Dr. David Webster

Meeting ID: 811 2888 6128 Passcode: 050739

The Islay archipelago has a great variety of geology: 2-billion-year old gneisses of the Rhinns Complex, a lightly metamorphosed late-Precambrian sedimentary succession including rocks deposited by ice during the time of a ‘Snowball Earth’, lead mines, and igneous rocks from the Silurian, Carboniferous and Palaeocene. Pleistocene glacial features abound and a recent archaeological dig has found evidence of probably the earliest human occupation of Scotland with ice-age hunters living on Islay some 12,000 years ago. Oh, and we have some nice whiskies too –many with geological stories to tell.
