  1. The geologist James Hutton was born in Edinburgh 300 years ago tomorrow. Two slices of Scottish geology I (an ecologist) have enjoyed studying. The Moine Thrust Mylonites at Faraid Head, Balnakeil Bay and lichens on a basalt dyke in Lewisian gneiss, Raasay.

  6. This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought a second-hand copy of #JamesHutton: The Genius of Time from Birlinn Publishing and adopted a damaged copy of The Great Auk from Bloomsbury Sigma that I hope to review soon. Also very pleased to have found a second-hand copy of Peter Wellnhofer's classic The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of #Pterosaurs which was recommended by @markwitton for its section on the history of research (when Witton recommends, I listen).

  11. Find ich, #MoloMasterOfTheOccult ja goil, wenn mir die Dinge gemäß meiner Interessen und Projekte zufliegen. Zum Beispiel dieser neue Vortrag beim Gersham Collage, in dem Historiker #JamesHutton einen guten Abriss der Geschichte der Magie im Westen bietet.

    BTW Krassheit: Kannte Hutton bisher null. Macht reizvollen ersten Eindruck; gibt aber nix auf Deutsch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_H

  12. From random capitalizations & unmistakable passive-aggressive tone, I'd have imagined this to be written by #Trump

    But it is in fact a 1778 letter from #BenjaminFranklin to #JamesHutton calling #Britain "the worst and wickedest Nation upon Earth"

    While excoriating Hutton for his "superior Skill in huckstering #Negotiation," 😂 Franklin exhorts him to show his "Generosity" & just "throw in those Countries"
    of #Canada, #NovaScotia, & the #Florida(s) as "Indemnification" 😂

  20. One of the wonderful things about living in #Edinburgh is passing a street and finding a sudden view of Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags. I do enjoy having a huge, extinct volcano in the middle of our city.

    The fact this area is also important in James Hutton's work that firms the bedrock (pun intended) of modern geology also pleases my science geek brain.

  25. I love the way that #JamesHutton one of the key figures in founding modern #Geology, is celebrated just below his old farm at Nether Monynut. This lovely wee sign mentions his geology briefly, but concentrates on his #farming, and best of all, on his extensive knowledge, and love of #cheese. Who knew? 😋 😊

  30. Last day of wee holiday in Berwickshire. Here's #JamesHutton's farm at Nether Monynut, where he pondered issues of soil erosion and rock recycling, leading to his #TheoryOfTheEarth, and the birth of modern #Geology. Still a farm, with sheepdogs watching for passing cars 😊
