Synopsis

The Land That Was To Become Scotland Has Travelled Across The Globe Over The Last 3,000 Million Years - From Close To The South Pole To Its Current Position. During These Travels, There Were Many Continental Collisions, Creating Mountain Belts As High As The Present-day Himalayas. Our Climate Too Has Changed Dramatically Over The Last 3 Billion Years From The Deep Freeze Of The Ice Age To Scorching Heat Of The Desert. And Within A Relatively Short Time - Geologically Speaking, We Will Plunge Back Into Another Ice Age. In Set In Stone, Alan Mckirdy Traces Scotland's Amazing Geological Journey.
