Moonrise over Auchmithie Bay
This long exposure was taken during the ‘blue hour’ after the sun had set, giving the beautiful colour cast seen in this photograph and really bringing out the stunning array of colours of the unique conglomerate formations found at Auchmithie.
Auchmithie is a small village on the coast of Angus, around three miles north east of Arbroath. The village stands above 120ft cliffs, while an attractive pebble beach, an old harbour, and some fascinating rock architecture is below them.
Have you ever wanted to know where the pebbles on the beach come from? How did they form? How did they get there? How long ago did all this happen?
At Auchmithie, you can see incredible examples of sandstone conglomerate cliffs formed by a giant Mississippi-sized river that once flowed over vast parts of the land over 370 million years ago. The beach is peppered with eroded cobbles and pebbles from these deposits, which all have an incredible story to tell, from erupting volcanos to colliding continents. Learn how to identify your local rocks on Auchmithie Beach and become a geologist for the day! We’ll discover a fantastic variety of pebbles, where they come from, and what they tell us about Scotland’s geology. We’ll also find out why the beach looks the way it does and how climate change might change in the next few decades.
