The grand scale of the cliffs, the noise of the sea-birds (in Spring), the rhythmic surging of the sea, and the dramatic geology on display, all combine to make this a location that makes a memorable impact on your senses. Once you start examining the rocks, however, the intriguing story that emerges adds a whole new dimension to the experience. This guide to Crawton can be used to support visits by pupils at most levels. It is written for teachers who may have varying levels of interest in and experience of interpreting landscape and rock features. Detailed descriptions of six locations are provided. These can be used to guide comprehensive studies at all levels. However, if you simply want a shorter introduction to the area, you should first turn to the section headed Suggestions for a shorter excursion and then dip into the other parts of the guide that relate to the three selected locations listed. Allow at least two hours for a visit to Crawton, and nearer four for detailed studies of all the locations described. Using this guide This guide is written as a resource to aid teachers in leading a field trip. It cannot be a complete package – you'll need to do a site visit, carry out a risk assessment and choose localities and activities that are suitable for your group and the theme that you want to explore. You might want to prepare material for pupils. The text and figures in this guide are available as separate files from www.sesef.org.uk, where you will also find a gpx file (coming soon!) that can be downloaded to a handheld GPS unit to help you find the suggested localities. We welcome feedback, ideas and examples of how you have used the guide. Contact us through the SESEF website www.sesef.org.uk. ESO Teachers' Guide: Crawton Aberdeenshire 23 October 2009 2 Is Crawton for you? The table below sets out information you may need when considering taking your pupils to Crawton: Main aim: To work out what has happened to shape the coast at Crawton and form the rocks that can be seen while exploring its bays and headlands. This field trip and subsequent related classroom activities can provide excellent contexts for your pupils to develop a range of information handling, communication and collaborative skills. More specifically, it can help them to develop their curiosity and understanding of the environment and their place in the physical world. The physical environment at Crawton is well suited for helping pupils to address issues of assessing and managing risk with a view to protecting themselves and others.

Of the six locations described in detail above, it is suggested that: • Location One is replaced with viewing Trollochy from the road; although this viewpoint has very little

  • IX.—The Glacial Geology of the Stonehaven District. by THIS Paper
    Downloaded from http://trned.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on June 8, 2015 THE GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF STONEHAVEN DISTRICT. 25 IX.—The Glacial Geology of the Stonehaven District. By ALEX. BREMNER, M.A., D.Sc, F.R.S.E. (Read 17th January, 1917.) THIS paper is a contribution towards the solution of one of the problems in the glacial geology of north-east Scotland, mentioned in a paper published in our Transactions (vol. x. p. 334), viz., the relations in space and time of the ice that distributed the red clays from Strathmore along the coasts of Kincardineshire and Aberdeenshire with that which brought the Upper Grey Boulder Clay. The latter we shall speak of in this paper as the Dee Valley Ice : the former we may call as before the Strath­ more Ice. In addition the paper may be interesting per se as a contribu­ tion to the study of the surface geology of a district to the solid geology of part of which special attention has been called in recent years. The area dealt with is bounded by the sea and a line drawn due west from Portlethen village to the Dee watershed, following the Dee watershed to the gap between Monluth and South Dennetys and passing thence southward to the Bervie Water at Milton of Dillivaird, along the Bervie to Drumlithie, and from that point straight back to the coast at Dunnottar Castle. The localities mentioned will be found on Sheets 66 and 67 of the 1-inch map. A. DIRECTION OF ICE MOVEMENT.
