About this Event
Join Dr Katie Strang for a guided walk to explore the urban geology around the University of Glasgow's Gilmorehill Campus. This circular walk will start and finish outside Kelvin Hall, and we'll examine the geology of the building stones and materials that have been used around the main area of Campus. From carboniferous sandstone to jurassic limestone, and from gorgeous pink granites to 400 million year old fossil fish in the pavements, we'll see an awesome variety of rocks which span hundreds of millions of years of Earth's history.
Monday 23rd September, 2pm - 3:15pm. Meeting point - outside Kelvin Hall Open Collections on 1445 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8AW.
Free, booking essential.
This walk will be repeated during the Festival. Check listings for alternative dates/times.
