A Scottish Flora : A History of Scotland as told by its plants
A four week course, focusing on seven plants from Scotland, that tell the story of momentous changes that have occurred over the last four hundred million years. From the fossilized plants of Rhynie, In Aberdeenshire, some of the oldest in the world, to the remnants of the Caledonian forests that used to dominate Scotland, and from mountain avens, which tells the story of one of the most dramatic climate change events ever to occur on our planet, to thrift, one of the few plants to thrive at sea level and high in the Scottish mountains. Dr Keith Skene will guide you through the stories, people and lessons to be learnt from these incredible flowers of Scotland.
