Geology Residential Visit to the Isle of Arran

In early November A2 Geology students were involved in a residential fieldtrip to the Isle of Arran. The aim of the visit was to bring to life theory that is part of their A Level Geology studies. All students were involved in primary fieldwork and data collection and were able to apply geological theory and gain a real importance and understanding of fieldwork techniques and their application. The visit provided a unique opportunity for the students to work in a very beautiful and stimulating environment within a protected area of international conservation and importance as the Isle of Arran has often been described as 'Scotland in Miniature'.

"I really enjoyed my trip to Arran, it was a great opportunity to apply geology in the field and spend time getting to know my Geology class better". (Kirsty Watkinson)

"The trip to the Isle of Arran was an invaluable experience which developed my skills in Geology, it was also very interesting and enjoyable". (Jennifer Russell)

"The trip offered the chance for me to expand my growing knowledge and skills in identifying and observing sediments and linear features in their natural environment". (Bethany Micklethwaite)
