Welcome!

Welcome to the Geology of Mull and Iona!
 

(Please note: The site is being extensively updated - all that is in place right now are the bare bones. The site should be completed by the 1st January 2010)

Thanks for being patient!)
 

This site was set up  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 Gallery pages will eventually have photographs of this collection.

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 front page - check this first

If you have any comments, please contact the webmaster through the Contact page.


The page links above should be fairly obvious. The Geology link takes you to pages that deal with sites, excursions, papers, reports etc. The Gallery 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 Interactive page is for blogs, feedback and things like that. And also my Guestbook.

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