Op de plek waar ooit het huis van #JamesHutton stond, de grondlegger van de moderne #geologie staat nu dit bankje. “Dit here, and contemplate the age of the earth”.

One of the wonderful things about living in #Edinburgh is passing a street and finding a sudden view of Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags. I do enjoy having a huge, extinct volcano in the middle of our city.

The fact this area is also important in James Hutton's work that firms the bedrock (pun intended) of modern geology also pleases my science geek brain.
