We will start the walk at the base of the cliffs looking closely at Whiting Ness and the geological features. From there the tour will ascend the path to the top of the cliffs and the group will walk to Carlingheugh Bay and back again looking and stopping at key geological, geomorphological and historical points. There will be an opportunity to stop at Carlingheugh bay to have a cup of tea/coffee and a tunnocks tea cake. If the group wishes we can descend down to the beach to look at Masons Cave and the pebbles on the beach to learn identification of rocks. If not there is a nice bench to sit at the top of the cliff looking over the bay and there will be a tray of pebbles to inspect show casing all the major geology of the local area. An amble back to Whiting Ness will give the group a chance to ask any questions and discuss the tours discoveries.
