Where continents collided: the North-West Highlands UNESCO World Geopark

Looking upon the North-West Highlands is to look at the past, present and future all at once. For Highland residents the familiar peaks and lochs are backdrops to our lives. Geopark manager and Drumbeg resident Fiona Saywell explains what the geopark is achieving and the importance of its UNESCO status while the Geopark’s geologist and co-author of Hutton’s Arse Pete Harrison tells us why the geology is rightly famous and what the latest research tells us about what is beneath our feet and what once was above our heads. You will learn about the processes that built our mountains and the iceage which helped wear them down.
