Discover 600 million years of Scotland’s geological history on the exclusive half-day ‘On The Rocks’ GeoTour. Perfect for those with limited time, including cruise passengers docking at Aberdeen South Harbour, this tour highlights the landscapes, terranes, and striking fault zones that have shaped Scotland.

Starting from Aberdeen, the adventure kicks off at Perthumie Bay, where visitors can see ancient metamorphosed ocean sediments of the Highland Terrane. The journey then proceeds south to the Highland Boundary Fault, a striking division between the rugged Grampian Highlands and the gentler landscapes of the Midland Valley. Participants will also explore the Midland Valley’s desert river sediments and lavas in the charming village of Stonehaven.

Guided by Steve Adams, the founder of Balgownie Geoscience with over 45 years of experience in the industry, academia, and fieldwork, this tour provides an engaging and beginner-friendly introduction to Scotland’s geology, offering the ultimate ‘On The Rocks’ experience.
