Waterfall near Forest Lodge
This picturesque little cascade is just below the rock where James Hutton made one of his momentous discoveries, which changed the face of geology and our understanding of the world. He discovered rocks with granite veins, which he interpreted as evidence that molten rock had been intruded into pre-existing rocks. This was the basis of his theory of Plutonism, which ascribed the development of rocks on the Earth's crust to heat rising from the mantle.
