St Anthony's Chapel, Holyrood Park, Edinburgh (Scotland) @UndisScot image & reconstruction. Repaired in 1426 with funds from the Pope. Likely damaged in 1400 during siege on Edinburgh Castle by King Henry IV of England. #StAnthonysChapel #ScottishChurches #HistoryRebuilt

On dark days, seek solace from the processes of the Earth. Everything passes, and we're all doomed anyway.

The Siccar Point unconformity this morning, such a peaceful place to contemplate deep time. The textbook view usually only shows a small part of the rocky platform, a varying unconformity surface reflecting erosion of the underlying rock before deposition of the upper layers.

Concretions in Carboniferous sandstone at Cocklawburn beach, Northumberland. Looks reminiscent of the cup-and-ring carvings in the Fell Sandstone inland, however this is a natural phenomena.

@RobGMacfarlane Below from Lothian Geology, 1986, "no picnics to be taken, or picnic haversacks carried ...". Fortunately in Scotland all such nonsense was swept away by the Land Reform Act in 2003, so that it seems almost unbelievable now. Hard won rights that should not be forgotten.
