Here in Scotland I've visited three of the classic Hutton sites at Siccar Point, Arthur's Seat and Glen Tilt - his Unconformity (like the one in your picture) showing the immense time period between the two layers and the other two showing the Plutonic, or igneous, nature of granite and basalt. Origins of geology more fun when you're living on top of them. Hope you're coming to Scotland some day!
Honestly Richard we should be AT the top! Although the rest of the UK is pretty interesting too. England even has its own 'Father of Geology ' William Smith.

Of all the places I'd like to visit, Scotland is near the top of the list.

Love this! As a Hutton, I definitely thought I was getting an email from my cousin when this popped up on my email.
Oops! Sorry to not be your cousin! :)
