Aberdeen Geological Society

Field Guides

The society published two field guides, one in paperback form, the other as downloadable field excursions.

Excursion Guide to the Geology of E. Sutherland and Caithness. N. H. Trewin and A. Hurst (Eds) Dunedin Academic Press, Edinburgh.

This is an updated version of the 1993 guide with numerous colour illustrations, and a new excursion (Sandside Bay).
AGS members price is £8.00 and price to non-members is £12.00, available from Aberdeen Department of Geology & Petroleum Geology.
Generous support from PESGB, Senergy and HRH to the AGS has allowed us to produce this guide book at an exceptionally affordable price.

Excursion Guide to the Geology of the Aberdeen Area. N. H. Trewin, B. C. Kneller and C. Gillen (Eds) 1986. Scottish Academic Press.

We are now pleased to inform you that plans to republish the Aberdeen Guide in digital format are moving on at a pace. Our intrepid volunteers have been out checking the excursions for any changes that may have occurred since they guide was originally published, and we can now bring you the first six excursions, two of which are free to download.
