Read more

Tantallon is a ruined 14th-century fortress near North Berwick, set on a clifftop headland above the Firth of Forth. A massive red sandstone curtain wall blocks off the promontory, with sea cliffs protecting the other three sides. It was home to the Red Douglas family and was besieged three times, the last by Cromwell's army.

The coastal rock face where James Hutton found evidence that the Earth is far older than people thought.

Read more

Siccar Point is a rocky coastal promontory in the Scottish Borders, near Cockburnspath, and one of the most important places in the history of geology. It is an IUGS Geoheritage Site. Here, gently sloping reddish-brown Devonian rock rests on dark, near-vertical Silurian rock beneath it. This meeting of two very different rock layers is known as Hutton's Unconformity.

Tip: Head for the promontory itself, where the unconformity is best seen in three dimensions; the ruined St Helen's Chapel is about a kilometre to the west.
