In amongst the pebbles in my last post, there is a crop of what i understand to be Canisp Porphyry. They were uncovered quite dramatically after one of last year's storms. Since then, they have obviously moved around and are no longer so concentrated in one spot as they had been. Who knows how it all got there or how long it has taken to round their edges into perfect pebbles.

Not sure how many people "doing the NC500" and whizzing past will be interested in this but those staying in the area for a while should enjoy it.

The advantage of being on the beach after stormy weather is the increased likelihood of finding newly broken rocks revealing colours not yet sea-smoothed.

Continuing to organise photos from last year. This is a somewhat unusual view from the Storr, a little above the beaten path. Looks to me like the spine of some ancient mythical creature diving under the landscape 🙂

Joining in #FossilFriday nothing exciting in the grand scheme of things but my first/only fossil finds local to me in Fife that got me interested, fossilised tree roots if my research was correct

🎺 Behold: the PriestLaw granite of East Lothian 😂 . Actually an interesting intrusion, with drusy cavities, magma mingling and copper mineralisation! 🤓 #ImpressYourFriends #ObscureBadly-exposedAndLittle-knownGranitesOfTheEarth #Geology #MagmaMingling #Igneous #ScottishGeology
