Elgin Museum - Fossil Finders' Trail (afternoon)

FOSSIL FINDERS’ TRAIL – AFTERNOON EXCURSIONSUNDAY 26TH APRIL 2020, 1.50 PM – ~4 PM ELGIN MUSEUM – CLASHACH QUARRY Join us for a unique opportunity to explore the Moray Coastal Trail around Clashach Quarry accompanied by visiting expert palaeontologists. Come and see old sand dunes and view the footprints that animals older than the dinosaurs left behind. A free return coach trip from the Museum to the quarry access road is provided (pick up/drop off at bus stop outside the Museum). This trip involves walking over uneven ground and sensible footwear (preferably boots) must be worn. The quarry is a working area with heavy machinery, steep faces, and large blocks so extreme care is needed in places. Please bring waterproofs and a snack/drink if you wish. The Museum will be open in the afternoon (12 – 4 pm) so that you can see our temporary exhibition At the Water’s Edge alongside displays of fossil fish and reptiles from the local area. Places are limited so book now to avoid disappointment!
