The blog covers my life at the University of Edinburgh as a geology student, Student Ambassador and as a resident presiding in the Athens of the North. If you want to learn about the amazing geology of Scotland or explore the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde nature of the city, this is the space to chart! I cover poetry, geology seminars, field trips, university life, tourism in Edinburgh and everything Scottish.

The Topic Idea

Nature can be seen in a weird light. The Romantics gave it poetic elements, while natural scientists reduced to a machine of calculations.

James Hutton, the genius of geology
