🍂✨🪨 Jumped the geological border today and had great fun in the East Wemyss cave there. 🌊 It was an open doors day and the local archaeological society was there to offer a guided tour which was fantastic. ⚒️ Then took the kids down the beach to look for Carboniferous fossils and found the usual amazing lepidodendron lying around. 🌴 So cool seeing these as we rarely find fossils in the Devonian round my way in Angus. All in all a lovely day and I highly recommend a visit. #storiesofstone #eastwemysscaves #geology #archaeology #picts #pictishsymbols #lepidodendrales #carboniferous #scottishgeology

Pebble of the day - Basalt lava. Formed at the same time as our sandstones and conglomerates roughly 400 million years ago. You can see basalts in pebbles on the beaches in Angus or in the cliffs at Lunan Bay, Scurdie Bess and St. Cyrus to name a few. To hear more about our violent volcanic past take a walk with Stories of Stone. 🙂🪨🌋 #storiesofstone #volcano #LAVA #basalt #geology #geologyrocks #VisitAngus #visitscotland #visitdundee #explorescotland #slowtravel #wellness #nature #outdoors #pebbles #pebbleoftheday
A beautiful walk today in the sunshine, yes that’s right it was sunny!!! 😎 it felt like we had the cliffs to ourselves this morning it was so quiet and peaceful except me chatting away about rocks and smugglers 🪨 🌋 . Lovely mother/daughter visit from London today while husband/dad is here for the golf.
Any other partners needing something to do while the #senioropengolf tournament is on this week at Carnoustie why not book on to a walk with Stories of Stone bookable at our website https://www.storiesofstone.co.uk/ #storiesofstone #VisitAngus #visitscotland #arbroathcliffs #outdoors #walks #explorescotland #geology #getyourguide #visitdundee #history #Local #heritage #slowlife #slowtravel
Previously couldn’t load this as a reel cause of the 90second limit which they have now upped to 3 mins. So here it is our trip to Spar Cave on the Isle of Skye. Highly recommend as it’s one of the lesser known things to do on Skye so it’s not so crazy with tourists and way more cool than the Fairy Pools! 😃 #sparcave #caves #skye #isleofskye #geology #storiesofstone #explorescotland #scotland #nature #slowtravel #outdoors
Adventures in Spar Cave on Isle of Skye
Our adventure to Spar Cave on the Isle of Skye. Great fun clambering up the flowstone and seeing the mermaid pool. Our kids had a great time and we saw lots of amazing sites like stalactites, pools of calcite formations, cross bedding, dykes eroded out and interest west coast seaweed (if you know more about it let me know). If you are doing this cave walk make sure you get down there as the tide is going out. The headland that leads to the cave entrance goes under water pretty quickly as the tide starts to come in. I’m back on the east coast now and we have a walk around Seaton cliffs next Tuesday if you want to join Stories of Stone for a wander and learn more. Take a look at our website to book online https://www.storiesofstone.co.uk/ #storiesofstone #skye #skyegeology #geology #scottishgeology #skyeadventure #rocks #rockhopping #caves #seacave #sparcave

Pebble of the week - conglomerate. A rock of two lives. Interesting how such an innocent looking pebble could tell such a vast story and indicate how far these rocks have travelled. If you would like to find out more join us on a walk. Walks available weekly at the moment.

Auchmithie beach again. This time looking at the baryte veins you see running along the beach and up on to the cliffs taking advantage of the fault lines and fractures in the rocks.

As we all love to wander on our fantastic Scottish beaches and pick up pebbles I thought I would do some pebble of the day videos. Here’s the first one…sea coal 🌊 🪨 . If there are any pebbles you would like identified post a photo. 🙂if you would like to find out more about the geology of Angus join us on a Stories of Stone walk https://www.storiesofstone.co.uk/#pebblebeach #seacoal #geology #storiesofstone #pebbleoftheday #pebbles #walking #walks #walkingtour #scottishgeology #scotland #visitscotland #visitangus #MyAngus
Fact of the day…did you know you can eat the gorse petals? I learnt this from the wonderful #adventures_in_angus . For the next time you get peckish out on a walk. #storiesofstone #visitangus #myangus #foraging #scotland #arbroathcliffs
