pentland hills field visit

Feb 20 16:01

Hi all

 

Im a beginner, I am heading up to the pentlands in the coming week - along the southern flank. I am wondering if anyone can provide me with details on the sedimentary and igneous rocks to look out for in these areas - i have a reference book ....keep it basic....

 

cheers
