The Story of a Boulder, by Archibald Geikie, Part 1

from Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Let's chip away at sleeplessness with some 19th century naturalist writing, more specifically the "gleanings from the notebook of a field geologist." This time, we spot an odd boulder in a Scottish ravine, trace its origins back to the Ice Age, and ponder the monumental workings of glaciers.
