Geology Field Camp in Scotland

Call Directions Website Contact the university

Geology Field Camp in Scotland Geology Field Camp in Scotland runs ever summer semester (June - July). 5 weeks in Scotland - awesome Highlands - classic localities - great friends.

Follow in the footsteps of Hutton, Lyell, Barrow, Peach and Horne as we tour and map the iconic geological sites of Scotland. With more geological diversity per square kilometer than any other country in the world, renowned geological heritage and spectacular landscapes, Scotland is an ideal location to undertake field geology training. Fieldwork and mapping starts on the doorstep of our School in St Andrews and culminates in the Northwest Highlands, covering three geological terranes and three billion years of Earth’s history. The course is suitable for Geology/Earth Science majors and is designed to fulfill field camp requirements for any Earth Science related degree.
