About this listen

In the final leg of his journey along the Highland Boundary Fault, Ed Tyler travels north-east from Alyth to the village of Edzell, where the river slices cleanly through the landscape — revealing the Fault once more in dramatic style.


From there, he continues to Stonehaven, a striking coastal town where the Highland Boundary Fault meets the North Sea. Walking out onto the headlands and promontories, Edward reaches a rare place where you can literally stand on the Fault itself, with Highland rocks on one side and Lowland rocks on the other.


It’s a powerful conclusion to a journey through stone, story, and time.


As Edward reflects on the places, people, and ideas that have shaped the series, we look back at what this geological line really means — not just in physical terms, but in how it helps us see Scotland, and ourselves, differently.


🧭 Themes: Geology in the landscape, visible fault lines, reflection and connection

📍 Locations: Edzell, Stonehaven
