Overview

Explore 600 million years of Scotland’s geological history on this dedicated half-day 'On The Rocks' GeoTour. Designed for visitors with limited time — including cruise guests arriving at Aberdeen South Harbour — this trip focuses on the landscapes, terranes, and dramatic fault zones that shaped Scotland.

Travelling from Aberdeen, your journey begins at Perthumie Bay, where ancient metamorphosed ocean sediments of the Highland Terrane. From here, you’ll head south towards the Highland Boundary Fault — the dramatic line separating the rugged Grampian Highlands from the softer landscapes of the Midland Valley. You will also spend time exploring Midland Valley desert river sediments and lavas in the quaint village of Stonehaven.

Led by Steve Adams, founder of Balgownie Geoscience with over 45 years of industry, academic, and field experience, this tour offers an engaging, beginner-friendly introduction to Scotland’s geology — the definitive 'On The Rocks' experience.
