Hunor Deak in Arbroath: The Geology of the Seaton Cliffs of Arbroath and the Sandstone of the Arbroath Abbey

  Living in Arbroath Hunor Deak with fish Arbroath is a small town situated between Dundee and Montrose on the Scottish east coast. I might be biased a bit since I lived there for the past 5 years. However I travelled Scotland quite extensively from the geological wonders of the Isle of Skye to the multicultural streets of Edinburgh. Even so I couldn’t find any place similar to Arbroath. Arbroath is a brilliant mixture of geology, history, cuisine and beautiful beaches (if you know where to go). The place provides something for everybody. Arbroath is a treasure trove of history. It contains buildings and museums showcasing the entire history of Scotland. St Vigeans offers us a window to the ancient past of Scotland when the Picts roamed the land. Digs from the nearby sites provided evidence of human inhabitants going back as 3500 BC. The Arbroath Abbey tells a tale of Scotland as a free nation. It is pleasant to know that the US Constitution can be traced back to Arbroath to a time...

Delivering Digitally: Focused Applications for the Historic Environment (How geologists can make use of these great services as well) and project ideas in Angus and the Mearns, Scotland

Originally, I didn’t consider this blog to fit with the wider scheme of Earth sciences. The Hutton Club talk mostly focused on historic conservation, archaeology and how tourism is managed in Scotland. However, the more I listened as the hour passed by I realised, the technologies and software used, also occur in geosciences. HES contributes a lot of data towards site conservation, including areas where coastal erosion is threatening a variety of Neolithic villages. The data from their coast monitoring sites allows other researchers to study coastal erosion on the west coast of Scotland and since the data contains full 3D scans, a long term understanding can be built of how the coast changes and whether climate change has an effect on the speed of erosion. A visit by the Digital Documentation Manager of Historic Environment Scotland This seminar was great to help me see the technology of 3D scanning in a new light. The seminar was presented by Dr Lyn Wilson who is the Digital Documenta...
