My Story

My name is Morag Smith, and I am a geologist. I grew up in Arbroath, Scotland, and from an early age, I knew I wanted to work in the earth sciences. I studied at St. Andrews University and then attended the Camborne School of Mines before starting my career as an exploration geologist. I worked for 15 years in this field, including 12 fantastic years in Australia, exploring the outback.

After having our first daughter, my family and I decided to embark on a new adventure in Scotland to be closer to our relatives. I have always wanted to contribute to my community and share the wonders of natural history with the public. This passion led to the creation of Stories of Stone.

At Stories of Stone, we are driven by a desire to share our knowledge and inspire a deeper understanding of our planet. Our goal is to encourage a heartfelt appreciation for the land beneath our feet. During our walks, you will gain insight into where we have come from and envision our future as you discover the profound connection we share with the world around us.

About Stories of Stone

Uncover the secrets of the past

At Stories of Stone, we are passionate about sharing our love for the Earth's story. We offer guided walking tours that not only showcase the stunning scenery of the coast but also provide in-depth knowledge of the local geology, earth science, and history. Our tours are designed to be engaging, educational, and enjoyable for all ages

Green Credentials

Stories of Stone proudly aligns its mission with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to minimize our environmental impact during our walks and to educate the public on important topics such as climate change. Additionally, we encourage women and girls to pursue STEM subjects.

Ensure Healthy Lives and Promote well-being for all and at all ages

Our walks provide an opportunity to get out into nature in the outdoors promoting well-being for all. The geology stories bring a sense of perspective for ourselves in this sometimes crazy world, encouraging a slower pace and an appreciation for the landscape around us.

Ensure Inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

One of the main aims of Stories of Stone is education. A subject as important as geology is often not taught in schools and has resulted in many requiring a better understanding in the world around us, in climate change, and how we impact the landscape.

Achieve gender quality and empower all women and girls

As a woman who has spent my entire career in a historically male-dominated industry, gender equality is a subject that is very important to me. I strive to promote STEM subjects, such as geology, to young girls and women who may be discovering these subjects later in life through Stories of Stone.

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Understanding the land is one of the most important messages Stories of Stone looks to achieve. On our walks we strive to leave as little impact on the environment as possible and educating the public about sustainability and our impact on the landscape throughout time is one of the key takeaways we hope to instill.
