Travelling coast to coast from the lowlands of Buchan through the high Cairngorms to Ben Nevis and over the sea to Skye and the Outer Hebrides he reveals old truths and new findings from his research about the origin and ages of its intriguing landforms and distinctive landscapes. Adrian has presented several films on geological themes, the latest being As Old as the Hills shot by Selena Kuzman, which premieres at the Orkney Science Festival in September.
