Where else can you experience two-thirds of the history of the Earth, in a quiet and beautiful but accessible spot of Scotland?
The North West Highlands Geopark is UNESCO-recognised because of the unimaginable age of the rocks along the coastline, as well as the incredible complexity of the landscape. Visit the Moine Thrust Zone to learn more about just one of the many scientific discoveries the landscape has created - stand where geologists finally discovered that continents had collided together, thanks to the presence of old rock above new.
You’ll also find each type of rock produces its own unique and evocative habitat, providing you with a diverse array of scenery to take in, wherever in the geopark you explore.
