Welcome to the Geology of Mull and Iona!

This site was set up in late 2005 to promote the geology of the Isle of Mull and the surrounding area. The geology of this area is fascinating - much of it is world-famous; the purpose of this site is to make available  information, resources and data for anyone who is interested in the geology of Mull and the neighbouring islands.

If you want to get straight to the interesting geological stuff, click here, or on the Geology link above and it will take you to the geological information pages. One of the author's ambitions is to build up a complete definitive collection of the many and varied rock types to be found in these Islands. The Galleries pages have photographs of this collection. See the Geology Page for more information.

Because of the nature of a site like this, it will never be complete - there will always be new content to add to it and possibly to take away, so keep coming back and see what's new. Updates to the site will be listed on the News pages - check these first for any information on geological events such as classes, courses, trips or talks.

If you have any comments, please contact the webmaster at the address below, or else fill in the comment form on the contact page. We look forward to hearing from you.

The page links on the left should be fairly obvious. The Geology link takes you to pages that deal with sites, excursions, papers, reports etc. The Galleries link takes you to photo galleries of Mull showing the wide variety of the geology. Use the  About page if you want to find out more about the purposes behind the site. The Resources page lists books, maps, memoirs and other material which you will find useful. The Contact page lists postal and email addresses. The Interactive page is for blogs, feedback and things like that. And also my Guestbook.

The Education link takes you to a page of links for those interested in further study. There are links to Universities and Colleges as well as information on Night Classes and other Adult Education taking place in Mull. The FAQ is Frequently Asked Questions. And the Glossary is a database of geological terms. I have tried to tailor this to the geology of Mull and Iona where possible.

The Member Login on the lower left of this page simply gives access to specific projects and to information which may be copyright or restricted in some way. to become a member, please send an email to the webmaster. The details are on the Contact page.

Explore the site, have fun and maybe see you in Mull some day!
