Synopsis

For many years, Arran has been a place of geological pilgrimage, offering within a comparatively small area a wide variety of rock formations, and many striking and classic illustrations of geological succession and structure; it is the epitome of Scottish geology.

This guide provides an introduction to the geology of Arran, mainly by detailed descriptive itineraries of fourteen geological excursions. The excursion routes have been selected for their importance in illustrating the broad features of the geology of the island, and for their accessibility. To link the various excursions a summary is given of the Earth history of Arran; archaeological notes are also provided.

The volume is illustrated, mainly by geological maps showing the positions of excursion localities, and a glossary of place names and a bibliography are provided. It is bound in weatherproof, spongeable plastic and is conveniently pocket-sized.
