Siccar Point near Cockburnspath is a stunning viewpoint where Father of Geology James Hutton, found evidence to support his theories which influenced modern day geology. It's a great walk with superb views and is going to be transformed through a project spearheaded by the Edinburgh Geological Society. The project will bring improved access and interpretation for visitors and its launch will coincide with the James Hutton Tercentenary in 2026.
I stepped out along the cliffs with podcast regular, geologist Angus Miller, to find out why Siccar Point is so significant and to learn more about the crowdfunding campaign for this important project.
