NORTH WEST HIGHLANDS UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK

The STV Weather man, Sean Batty, has just been filming in the geopark, including an interview with Pete Harrison at Knockan Crag, followed by a quick visit to the Rock Stop at Unapool. He and the crew were really interested to find out about what is happening in the Geopark.

The programme containing this section is available now on the STV Player.

Another programme to look out for this month is BBC 4’s Men Of Rock currently showing on Tuesday nights where Iain Stewart talks about the key figures who played a part in uncovering Scotland’s geological history.
