GEOGRAPHY LOCH LOMOND TOUR
60 S1 and S2 Geographers attended a field trip at Loch Lomond National Park last Monday. They conducted field work including footpath erosion measurements and a field sketch showing the Highland Boundary Fault Line after climbing up Conic Hill to experience the amazing views. They also received a short talk from a Park Ranger on their job and the laws protecting the National Park.
