<<This year is the centenary of the publication of the Geological Survey of Great Britain's Memoir to the Geological Structure of the North-West Highlands of Scotland (by Peach, Horne, Gunn, Clough, Hinxmann and Teall, edited by Archibald Geikie). The memoir is one of the most celebrated publications in structural geology and tectonics, drawing together the findings of an exceptional programme of fieldwork and related petrology. Most of the work was carried out in the 1880s, concluding with a conference in 1897. That it took a further ten years for the memoir to appear was probably, as Geikie observed, because: "some geologists find literary labour more irksome and arduous than field-work, and would rather survey many square miles of complicated ground than write a few pages descriptive of them". >>

After that...Jon Do you know if is there any celebration at Edinburgh University or at Aberdeen maybe?
