ORKNEY AND SHETLAND: LANDSCAPES IN STONE

The archipelagos of Orkney and Shetland are the products of some of the most dramatic events which have occurred in the Earth’s history. The Shetlands are the eroded roots of a vast mountain range that once soared to Himalayan heights, while Lake Orcadie existed for almost 10 million years and was home to a wide range of primitive species of fish. This book tells the incredible geological story of the most northerly outposts of the British Isles.
