About GeoGuide

Scottish Geology Trust logo

The GeoGuide website presents published articles about geosites and allows them to be explored using an interactive map. Grid references in the text are plotted on the map, making it easy to find each locality. This should assist in discovering sites of geological interest, understanding the geology and preparing site visits. Content currently covers England, Wales and Scotland.

Use the map to explore localities by selecting topics of interest in the map menu (top right), or browse the publications available on the site.

The GeoGuide website is part of a wider project, led by the Scottish Geology Trust, to promote and report on geosites in Scotland, in cooperation with JNCC and NatureScot. It is a sister site to the main Geosites volunteer project website.

There are currently 5,604 pages on the site, from 165 publications, with 12,157 figures or tables and 30,993 mapped locations.
