Describes the geomorphological heritage of Scotland, offering a remarkable account of how the natural environment responded to severe climatic change as the Quaternary era progressed over the last 2 million years, in terms of landforms, processes and plant communities. Describes 138 nationally important GCR sites which represent a remarkable diversity of landforms in a relatively small area. Explores how this variety of landforms came into being, the forces which shaped it, and the climatic extremes which drove it.
