About this show
Step back to the 1700s and walk through Edinburgh's landscape with philosopher James Hutton, and his Scottish Enlightenment companions, exploring Hutton's theory of a dynamic Earth. Born in Edinburgh in 1726, Hutton saw how the Earth developed over a vast time scale. We now know this as deep time. With interests in agriculture, chemistry, medicine and natural science, Hutton is recognised as the founder of modern geology. His ideas influenced Darwin's theory of evolution. From the team that created Darwin in Edinburgh, join theatre maker Jane Westhead and geologist Angus Miller in this engaging walking tour.
