About the Scottish Geology Trust Geosites Project

Scotland has over 1000 sites that are designated as important for geology and geomorphology at a national or local level. The Scottish Geology Trust’s Geosites project aims to build a map and database for all of these sites, to encourage greater awareness and conservation. You can find out more about the project here. Geosites project volunteers are adding information and photographs — get involved.

So far, volunteers have added 2432 photographs to the database, covering 448 geosites. 465 geosites have been annotated with additional information.
