Fossil hunting trip in Scotland- advice needed

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

My Scottish friend and I (both first year students in Palaeontology and Geology) are planning a fossil trip to Scotland starting next Monday.

Our main interests are vertebrate fossils, and Scotland is well known for its Carboniferous deposits where sharks, fish and tetrapods can be found!

 

The 2 problems are: although we have a car, we wouldn't want to drive more than 2h to get to a site (we will be staying in Melrose, Scotland), and we also don't know many sites that are accessible to the public, not over vegetated or depleted, that contain abundant vertebrate fossils like shark teeth or Rhizodont teeth.

 

Does anyone have any good locations me and my friend could go to find vertebrate fossils?

Thank you so much and regards.
