SUMMARY:Ringing the bells for James Hutton
DESCRIPTION:In order to help celebrate Hutton’s Tercentenary\, a group of church bell ringers from various parts of England and Scotland will meet on Wednesday 3rd June to ring the eight bells at Haddington church\, East Lothian. The ringing will start at about 10.30am and continue without a break for three hours. This special type of performance is known as a peal\, and the ringers have to ring in time with each other and memorise what they’re doing\, as no ‘music’ or aide-memoires are allowed in the ringing room.\n\nThe ringers who are taking part have varied professional and amateur interests in geology\, rural land use and medicine\, so we properly reflect Hutton’s credentials as the leading Scottish Enlightenment polymath.\n\nImage: Haddington church (Stephen C Dickson\, CC BY-SA 4.0) \n\n An event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust.

SUMMARY:Celebrating James Hutton’s lasting impact
DESCRIPTION:Three hundred years ago\, during the Scottish Enlightenment\, James Hutton transformed how we understand the Earth. At a time when many believed the planet was only a few thousand years old\, he proposed that landscapes are shaped gradually over deep time by processes still observable today. \nThis daytime symposium at the Royal Society of Edinburgh honours Hutton’s legacy not only as the “Founder of modern geology”\, but as a visionary polymath whose pioneering work across agriculture\, climate\, and philosophy remains relevant today. Through a series of talks and workshops\, expert speakers will explore how Hutton’s interdisciplinary approach can address current challenges\, how his ways of thinking can be supported today\, and the vital question of “Where are the Huttons of today?” \nFree.

SUMMARY:Paxton House Exhibition: James Hutton 300 - Landscape\, Rocks and Time
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will explore James Hutton’s influence on the processes leading to the formation of rocks and on the concept of geological time in a series of interpretation panels\, which tell of Hutton’s life in Edinburgh during the period of the Scottish Enlightenment as well as the development of his Theory of the Earth. His writings explored the processes which produce the rocks and landscapes we see around us\, as well as the idea that geological time was very different from current ideas in the eighteenth century. \nSeveral of James Hutton’s contemporaries were able to travel with him around Scotland\, seeking places where he could find evidence to support his theories. The exhibition includes displays of the rocks that he found at the well-known unconformities in the Isle of Arran\, Jedburgh and Siccar Point\, as well as granite exposures in the Grampians and north-east Scotland. Illustrations of Hutton’s sites\, the so-called ‘Lost Drawings’\, show how he and his contemporaries developed the basic principles of geology. \nIn his early days he took on two family farms situated in the Lammermuir Hills\, aiming to cultivate the inhospitable moors. His progressive ideas\, gleaned from time spent on Norfolk farms and his travels around England\, promoted major changes in agriculture at that time\, particularly the introduction of a more efficient plough. \nHayloft Gallery\, Paxton House\, Paxton\, Berwick-upon-Tweed TD15 1SZ Entry to the café\, shop and exhibition is free\, but there are charges for entry to house and gardens. \nOpen from Wednesday 3rd June to Sunday 26th July 10.00 – 4.00 every day. \nSpecial Event – talk by Alan McKirdy\nSunday 28 June\, 2pm – cost £5\, payable on the door\nThe author Alan McKirdy will deliver a talk on ‘James Hutton and the Scottish Enlightenment’ at Paxton House on Sunday 28 June\, 2pm. \n  \n\n An event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust.

SUMMARY:The Legacy of James Hutton (1726–1797): The Spirit of Enlightenment Science
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Colin Campbell\, Chief Executive\, The James Hutton Institute while he traces James Hutton’s life and intellectual development. \n\n\n\n\nJames Hutton\, physician\, chemist\, farmer and natural philosopher\, is best known as the founder of modern geology that is the basis of the “Deep Time” of our Earth. Yet his contribution reaches far beyond the rocks of Siccar Point. In his Theory of the Earth\, Theory of Rain\, Elements of Agriculture and the Principles of Knowledge and Reason\, Hutton articulated a profoundly modern vision of science: that nature operates through continuous\, observable processes; that knowledge progresses gradually through evidence and reason; that truth is constantly hampered by error and uncertainty and that human understanding is refined through disciplined inquiry. \nThis online lecture traces Hutton’s life and intellectual development within the Scottish Enlightenment\, examining how his ideas of systems and cyclical processes operated in diverse areas of human physiology\, agricultural experimentation and field observation of rocks and geological strata to a coherent philosophy of nature. It explores how his concept of uniformitarianism reshaped our thinking of a “Dynamic Earth”\, influenced Charles Lyell\, Charles Darwin\, and James Lovelock and helped establish a worldview grounded in process\, system\, and deep time. \nSpeaker: Professor Colin D. Campbell\, Chief Executive\, The James Hutton Institute \nFacilitator: Professor Eric Blair\, Vice President\, Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society \nFree online webinar – book here \nThis webinar is hosted by The James Hutton Institute and The Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society. \n\n An event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust.

SUMMARY:Manuscript copy of 'Theory of the Earth' on display at the Geological Society of London
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate 300 years since the birth of Scottish geologist James Hutton on 3 June 1726\, a manuscript of his groundbreaking book ‘Theory of the Earth’ (1795) will be on display in the Geological Society of London Library at Burlington House\, Piccadilly\, London. \nJames Hutton (1726–1797) was a Scottish geologist\, agriculturalist\, chemical manufacturer\, naturalist and physician. Often referred to as the “Father of Modern Geology\,” the principles described in ‘Theory of the Earth’ (1795) were fundamental to the shaping of modern geological science. \nThe Library’s document\, on display for the whole of June\, is the only known surviving geological manuscript by Hutton. Only the first two parts of ‘Theory of the Earth’ (1795) were published in his lifetime and this manuscript is a partial draft of either part 3 or 4. The Society would eventually publish it as the third volume in 1899. \nIt is written in a fair hand and was nearly ready to be sent to the printers for publication as Hutton has only annotated a few pages here and there with corrections or directions. \nHutton was known to have been working on the manuscript up until his death in 1797\, after which the manuscript passed into the hands of his friend and first biographer John Playfair (1748-1819). Playfair subsequently gave the manuscript to his friend John Webb Seymour (1777-1819) who he accompanied on a field trip to Glen Tilt in 1807 as it contained Hutton’s descriptions of his visit there in 1785\, which Seymour referenced throughout his own 1814 paper on the geology of the area. \nBoth Playfair and Seymour died in 1819 and the manuscript then passed to Seymour’s brother the Duke of Somerset\, who in turn gave it to Leonard Horner (1785-1864). \nHorner\, who was the father-in-law of Charles Lyell and a keen Huttonian\, finally gave the manuscript to the Geological Society in 1856 “to be preserved in the Library\, as an interesting document in the History of Science”. \nThe manuscript will be displayed in the Society’s Library in Burlington House\, Piccadilly\, London W1J 0BG throughout June. \nFurther information: www.geolsoc.org.uk/news/manuscript-copy-of-theory-of-the-earth-on-display-at-the-society/ \nBurlington House is open Tuesday-Thursday\, 10am-5pm – www.geolsoc.org.uk/about-us/visit-us/

SUMMARY:UNCONFORMITY. Gaps\, absences and erasures in cultural history.
DESCRIPTION:Soapbox sessions. 30 artists\, writers and performers. 10 minutes each. The Revelator in partnership with The Royal Scottish Academy. \n\n\n\n\nContributing artists include : Sam Ainsley\, Annie Cattrell\, Ilana halperin\, Gareth Fisher\, Paul Stallan\, Dave Sherry\, Louise Welsh\, Suky Best\, Kenny Hunter\, Chris Dolan\, Katie Houston\, Edward Summerton\, Shauna McMullan\, Leena Namari\, Gair Dunlop\, Joseph De Lappe\, Mary Bourne\, Joanna Kessel\, Laura Leuzzi\, Peter McCaughey\, Gordon Gibb\, Jude Barber\, Stephen Skrynka\, Ranald MacInnes\, Julie Laing\, Leila Galloway\, Rory Hamilton. \n‘Unconformity’ is a geological phenomenon revealing a missing span of millions of years between rock layers. (discovered 300 years ago by James Hutton at Siccar Point\, Berwickshire\, Scotland) This concept serves as a powerful metaphor for cultural loss: the ways in which histories can be fragmented\, obscured or deliberately erased. \nThrough a series of conversations and performances\, participants will explore these ‘missing layers’\, considering how culture is shaped not only by what remains\, but also by what has been lost. Organised by Stephen Skrynka and Annie Cattrell as a collaboration between The Revelator and The Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition celebrating 200 years. \nThe Revelator is a circular art space and wall of death\, located in Barclay Curle\, an ex shipyard. Click on the QR code on eventbrite for a clip of how to find us once you arrive (as you come through the main entrance\, we are to the left at the back of the building near the scrapyard). Please dress for outside conditions. Access : all flat ground\, if a bit bumpy. One step into the Revelator and a spiral stair to the viewing gallery at the top. The wall of death is 5m high. Inside is seated and upstairs is standing. It is a working building. You will be asked to sign a disclaimer upon entering. Entrance to this event is free but ticketed. Booking essential. The Revelator was built and is run by a group of volunteers. We are completely unfunded. Donations are welcome. \nFree event\, booking essential – book here

SUMMARY:Siccar Point Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Siccar Point on the Scottish Borders coast is one of the most significant locations in the history of geology. It was here in 1788 that James Hutton predicted\, and then found\, an unconformity – a geological feature that represents a significant gap in the geological record\, and shows how the Earth’s surface is continually recycled and regenerated by natural processes. \nTo celebrate the Tercentenary of James Hutton’s birth\, the Edinburgh Geological Society and partners are creating a new Deep Time Trail at Siccar Point. The trail will lead visitors along the 1.3 km route from the nearest road to the viewpoint above Siccar Point. Along the way\, Hutton’s story gradually unfolds. \nJoin geologists from the Edinburgh Geological Society at Siccar Point to explore the new Deep Time Trail and find out more about James Hutton and this famous location. \nFree – Drop in between 11 am and 4pm each day – no booking required \nAmateur radio operator Paul Temple will be operating from a temporary Special Event Station at Siccar Point using the call sign GB9GEO\, as part of the Parks on the Air programme\, which encourages radio operators to set up temporary stations in designated parks\, enjoying the harmony of nature while making contacts with other radio enthusiasts. Paul will be operational from around 11:00am and will operate as long the batteries last and conditions permit. \n\n An event in the Scottish Geology Festival 2026\, organised by the Scottish Geology Trust.
