Following his hugely popular walk ‘Volcanoes on the Beach’ in last year’s walking festival, Rev. Dr. David Graham plans to take you back in time to what we call Scotland, was like 350 million years ago!

The walk begins in the harbour behind the Scottish Seabird Centre at 1pm (low tide) and follows an easy route along the beach for approximately 1 mile. Along the way, you will see examples of rocks that tell us about our geological history during the Carboniferous Period, and the climate changes since then, from the tropical to the ice age! Your walk ends with a short climb to the top of the Haugh where you will have a panoramic view of Fife, East Lothian and some of the islands in the Forth for an even wider perspective.

The walk will take approximately 2 hours.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and sturdy, non-slip footwear is highly recommended.
