Take 5<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Highlands Geology<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n The Highlands is home to some incredible geology and geologists. You can find some fascinating examples on Museum of the Highlands.<\/p>\n 1) Compare the ages of our geological objects with other items from across the Highlands as your students learn to \u2018Be a Curator\u2019 with our quiz. 2) Next find out more about one of the oldest rocks on the planet. You can find Lewisian Gneiss at Gairloch Museum and explore the North-West Highlands geopark where it\u2019s from in more detail in the Highlands Explorer activity. 3) Learn about the life of an important Highlands geologist from history. Considered one of the finest geological writers of the 19th<\/sup> century, Hugh Miller lived in Cromarty.<\/p>\n Learn about his encounters with geology through his role as a stone mason, with the lovely carved stone at Cromarty Courthouse Museum. Hear from Geologist Dr Steven Andrews about the significance of this little stone. 4) Explore the fish fossil, Pterichthyodes\u202fmilleri, named in Hugh Miller\u2019s honour at Nairn Museum. It was research on these armoured fish that his reputation was built. Discover more about what geologists can learn from these fish from Geologist Dr Steven Andrews. 5) And if that\u2019s not enough, there are a range of other incredible geological specimens to discover, including an ammonite and a belemnite from the Seaboard Centre and a sample of coal from Brora Heritage Centre, all on Museum of the Highlands.
