A breezy but dry day on the beach at Tentsmuir today for our Higher Geography field trip. We collected lots of data on the abiotic factors that affect the vegetation for our assignments and were rewarded with some delicious crepes from the Salt & Pine afterwards! @harrisacdundee
Finishing the term with some coastal cakes. Great fun this afternoon with some of the Nationals recapping coastal erosion features 🌍🌊🧁 #enjoyment @harrisacdundee
What a beautiful day it was at Tentsmuir today! The Higher Geography class were investigating vegetation succession along a transect for their assignments. Once they had collected all their data their hard work was rewarded with some well deserved crepes from the Salt & Pine!
A fantastic morning at our culture day. Thank you so much to Rudy and Connla for helping out and marking all the quizzes. Top Geographers 🤩.

It's the summer solstice today - the longest 'day' of the year!
Day length varies with latitude with the longest in the north
Lerwick's day length is 18hrs and 56mins and it doesn't go completely dark overnight!

It took 28 years to complete this geological map of Scotland's mainland! The perfect combination of geology and cartography was created by Harry Young, and framed by his family for his 85th birthday 🗺

Miss Quirk had a walk up to Corrie Fee to see evidence of Glaciation during the last ice age. Such a great walk and she met a pupil half way up enjoying a Sunday walk 🥾🌎⛰️ #getoutdoors @cairngormsnews

2023 was the warmest year on record.
This 'small multiples' representation of observed changes in temperature show how the planet is heating rapidly almost everywhere.
