I'm looking for a book that would combine climbing in Scotland with geology. For instance, climbing to see bizzare rock formation, or strange types of rocks. It would be nice to have some details about the rocks too...

Thanks in advance. 🙂

I think this can be more easily found on the almighty internet.

Or else, you might want to try some local university, where you might obtain a copy of a PHD or something. There is bound to be some student somewhere in the past who has written a report on Scottish boulders and / or landscapes. I think this topic is a little too specific for a regular publisher to make some money on.

I Thought that too. It is just the prefect present for one of my friends and having trapesed around Glasgow looking for such a thing the best I found was a tad short of the mark. So I am not browsing the net for such a thing, but having no luck. Ah well, onto plan B. Well, once i work out what plan B is...

the US has a company that maintains an online database of theses you can buy, if you like the abstracts. i think it's University Microfilms. maybe Scotland has something similar.
