| The rocks and scenery around Glasgow make it one of the finest regions in Britain from which to gain an understanding of geology - the science of the Earth. The Geological Society of Glasgow was founded in 1858, and since that time it has had a proud history of activity and achievement in the study of geology in Scotland. |
