Geoconservation in Scotland
A five decade career in the British Geological Survey (BGS) mainly working on Devonian and Carboniferous rocks in the Midland Valley of Scotland, will be used in this talk to show some of our successes in Geoconservation. Because the Special Sites Of Scientific Interest (SSSI) and GeoConservation Review (GCR) systems work mainly very well, we will focus on local authority recognised Local Geological Sites (LGS) and other potential localities. However, over the years many former quarries and some natural sections have been filled in, flooded or covered over; the sites illustrated will be focussed on some of these losses. At some of these places, there may well be records such as company borehole logs and mine/quarry plans. Data and photographs collected on site visits are important but where these are only personal, these may be lost with time. This makes the case for making deposition of such materials with official bodies like BGS or with the Scottish Geology Trust's Geosites web page.
