Additional Info

Returning after his popular talk on bridges, Bruce’s latest book is a journey exploring the natural and man-made heritage under our feet. A subterranean odyssey looking at natural caves, tunnels, buried treasure, oil-shale and coal mining, hydro-electric power generation (including Scotland’s hollow mountain) and the building materials sourced from the rocks beneath our wellies.

Please note earlier start time than our previous talks.
