James Hutton

The Founder of Modern Geology

Three hundred years ago, during the Scottish Enlightenment, James Hutton transformed how we understand the Earth. At a time when many believed the planet was only a few thousand years old, he proposed that landscapes are shaped gradually over deep time by processes still observable today through his pioneering work across agriculture, climate, and philosophy remains relevant today.

2026 marks the tercentenary of James Hutton's birth.
