About The First 'Man of Granite': James Hutton at 300 - Aberdeen Art Gallery

300 years ago James Hutton, the Father of Modern Geology, was born in Edinburgh and the way we think about the Earth was changed forever due to his insights into 'Deep Time'.

Join Dr Stuart Archer of the Aberdeen Geological Society as we celebrate the life of the man who re-defined geological time, understood the rock cycle of erosion, deposition, uplift and erosion and discovered Siccar Point - Scotland's most significant geological outcrop.
