The geology of Glencoe is explored through some interesting displays on the geological history (from 500 millions to present) with an exhibit on the Glencoe volcano and the formation of the caldera. There is also a selection of rocks from various parts of the Glen with information on their features, formation and where to see examples of each type. Other interpretation boards cover the shaping of the Glencoe and its surrounds by glaciation events.
