The Geology of Holyrood Park - information for the Polish Community in Edinburgh and visitors from Poland
Joanna Weintritt, originally from Poland, is a member of the RIGS Volunteer Group. She has started a project to create Polish-language resources to tell people about the geology of Edinburgh ... which even considering the wide range of activities that RIGS groups get up to across the UK, must be unique!
Her first publication covers Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat, and is available online at http://www.szkocja.net/artykuly/art.aspx?id=2109 or as a pdf file.
Well done Joanna, we look forward to more. But not too fast, as keen members of the group are reported to be checking your spelling which may take some time!
