Beginning with a short walk through Holyrood Park, Vojta Hybl will guide participants to discover the fascinating rocks beneath their feet. The journey will then continue at Dynamic Earth, where Vojta will delve into the stories rocks can tell us about the Earth’s greater story, sharing insights from his new book, Rocks: A Guide to the Stones Around Us and the Stories They Tell. Whether you’re an aspiring rock hunter, a geology enthusiast or simply looking to understand Edinburgh’s landscape more deeply, this is the perfect event for you!
