Stolen Rock
Dear Sir,
Islay
has a unique and vaied geological heritage and it is shame that someone
has chosen to steal one of its rarest rocks. The entire exposure of an
unusual occurence of the mineral kyanite has been removed from near
Kilnaughton beach. The exposure is shown in my book 'A Guide to the
Geology of Islay' and I am most upset that a reader has chosen to
destroy the locality for others. In particular a PhD student's research
has been severely compromised. If anyone can shed any light on this
wanton act of geo-vandalism I'd be grateful if they would contact me.
Regards
David Webster
