We are delighted to welcome back Dr Angus Miller to talk about the ways that Edinburgh helped to shape James Hutton’s ideas about the fabric of the Earth. There have already been many celebrations of James Hutton’s 300th birthday, and in a year where Edinburgh World Heritage commemorates 30 years as a World Heritage Site, it seems appropriate to recognise that the building blocks of the city contributed greatly to the understanding of how the surface of the planet formed.
About the Speaker: Dr Angus Miller is a Teaching Fellow and Course Organiser at the Centre for Open Learning at the University of Edinburgh. Alongside that, he runs Geowalks, helping people to explore Scotland’s geology and discover the rich story of our rocks and landscapes.
