Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first people are made of the stone, and the rock itself has been shaping and testing Scotland for billions of years. It is not enough to start with the people who used the stone; the correct place to begin is with the rock itself.
#2 The Earth was shaped after the moon-making collision, and as it cooled, concentric layers formed and a thin crust hardened. The material beneath remained liquid and as the heat circulated, rising to the surface and then sinking back down towards the interior, the currents and flows kept the outer shell in perpetual motion.
#3 The oldest rocks beneath the feet of Scots are the Lewisian gneisses, which form the basement bedrock of Lewis, the rest of the Western Isles, the Inner Hebrides, and some parts of the seaboard of the north-west. They were formed deep beneath earth’s crust three billion or more years ago.
#4 The emergence of a nation, Scotland, was never inevitable. The rocks of Scotland were never destined to be together, as they were once part of several different landmasses. They came together by chance, a whim of pressure and time.
