James Hutton and Deep Time exhibition

30 May - 31 May

James Hutton, known as the ‘Father of Geological Time’, lived and farmed in East Berwickshire for some years, developing his ideas about landscape and processes through time. Interpretation boards, exhibits and displays tell his story, culminating in his visit to Siccar Point on the coast near Cockburnspath, where the new Deep Time Trail gives access to this internationally important site.

Saturday 30th May 10.30 am – 4.00 pm
Sunday 31st May 11.00 am – 3.30 pm

Free entry – refreshments available – Drop in – no booking required

The James Hutton Cycle Trail will be officially opened at the exhibition on Saturday at 11am. We’d be delighted if you could join us on the day – further information.
