The Looking Glass is an audiovisual interactive installation that responds to individuals by creating an altered representation of users. Participants enter a dark room with a fibre optic wall, which is activated by the movement and projects a distorted silhouette of the participants through the individual glowing strands of fibre optics. Any sound emitted by the user will be echoed and cause the projections to change colour based on volume. The installation allows participants to develop an awareness of an alternative self, which encourages interaction and reflection. It explores the line between the digital and physical using fibre optic.

The last ice sheet to completely cover Scotland (the Devensian ice sheet) began to melt and its margins retreat about 20,000 years ago as summer sunlight in the northern hemisphere increased. Over the following 10,000 years, the average global temperature rose by 3.50C and most of the Devensian ice sheet melted in the “Great Thaw”. In Scotland, however, a seemingly contradictory readvance of the ice took place. Around 12,900 years ago, the temperatures in Scotland plummeted and remained low for about 1300 years. This glacial period, known as the Younger Dryas, is thought to have been caused by huge quantities of meltwater escaping into the North Atlantic and closing down the North Atlantic Ocean Conveyor.
The evidence for this readvance was first analysed and appreciated in the broad hummocky lowlands to the south of Loch Lomond and this became the type area for the readvance .

Musings on the changing character of Britain's cultural landscape. It is a plea to the retail shed builders to look at themselves and begin to respect their potential customers. It is a warning to the potential customers of ASP-Host and Web Solutions. It is a plea to the Law Society to put the upholding of the law at the top of their agenda rather than the protection of their cartel. The presentation is amusing yet serious. If you like it, spread the word and pass it on. Thanks.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

When I delivered this presentation to my students, I used to use the analogy of reading a face – John Byrne’s face in particular. His self portraits are particularly honest. If you can read a face, you can read a landscape. Of course, it can be any face, or any group of faces….
…such as this bunch of Scottish lads. Notice how worried the goalkeeper is – maybe he has played behind this defense before?... Or maybe it was the court case that was coming up. And every team needs it’s smiling assassin. Mind you this team seems to have 10 of them.
How is this for a Scottish back four? These are slightly more important faces in terms of the geology of Scotland. Geology, as an academic pursuit, was more or less invented in our country. All four gentlemen had their curiosity aroused by their local surroundings. So James Hutton studied the igneous rocks around Edinburgh. Playfair and Lyell’s first love was the lithification of the Old Red Sandstone Rocks of Strathmore and Angus while Hugh Miller studied the fossils which he came across as a stonemason in the Black Isle.
Between them they set up the foundations of geology. They identified the main rock types and began to wrestle with the concept of geological time – or the “abyss of time” as James Hutton called it. It was a struggle which eventually cost Hugh Miller his life.
All four made contributions towards the Rock Cycle, recognizing that everything started with igneous rocks – a molten earth in space. These rocks are then weathered and eroded down into sediments which collect in basins and eventually harden into layers of sedimentary rocks. Tectonic processes then may heat or pressurize these layers into metamorphic rocks. The same material can therefore become three different types of rock during its development cycle.
By the beginning of the 20th century, we had a very accurate geology map of Scotland.
By the end of the 20th century this map hadn’t changed but our understanding of it had improved immeasurably.
Alfred Wegener had introduced the theory of continental drift in the 1920s. It took a long time for his theories to be accepted but by the 1990s there was worldwide acceptance of the theory of Plate Tectonics. And for the first time, geology maps began to record tectonic terranes.
The surface geology was the same as before but the nomenclature was very different. We have not only identified all the separate terranes which make up the British Isles but we can track their positions back through time.
And so the landscapes of Scotland begin to make more sense.
Dating techniques improved as well and so the geological timescale now looks like this. There are still problems especially with really old rocks. These three rocks are nominally the same….

So let’s look at Scotland’s Journey. We can go back about a 1000 million years with some degree of accuracy.
A billion years ago, the Earth’s landmasses were fused in a supercontinent called Rodinia. Rodinia was unusual in that most of the landmass was mountainous. The main range was about 20,000kms long. No vegetation meant that the land surface was covered in rivers. Erosion, on a scale never seen before or since, held sway.
Our planet is about 4.54 billion years old. This is about as far back as we can go in terms of the location of the landmasses.
Snowball Earth! There is very little ice near our equator at present. This wasn’t the case 700 ma. Our planet was being repeatedly covered in ice, the glaciations coming and going over a period of about 55 million years. It seems that the eruption of a supervolcano brought vast volumes of basalt to the surface that quickly weathered under tropical rains, sucking huge amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere. There might have been a biological trigger as well. Single celled zooplankton may have evolved that excreted fecal pellets, thus removing carbon from the system.
Eventually CO2 seeping out of undersea volcanoes began to warm things and the glaciation was over almost as quicly as it began.
The third great discovery of the last decade has been the accurate tracking of the origins and movements of different terranes. We will have a look at Scotland and England’s journeys.
600 mya – the start of life as we know it – multi-celled animals. The earliest evidence for this was provided by fossil poo on the Isle of Islay.
During the final stages of the Caledonian orogeny, the erosion of the high mountains led to the deposition of the Old Red Sandstone in the Midland Valley.
420mya Scotland and northern Ireland finally dock with England and southern Ireland. The last remnants of the Iapetus Ocean disappear.
348 mya Britain was on the equator and the great Carboniferous limestone was being laid down in a sea which covered most of England and Wales. In Scotland an enigmatic island arc puntuated the landscape with volcanoes.
Pangaea was C shaped, wrapped around the Tethys Sea. Biggest desert ever? Most geologists think that the continents repeatedly coalesce and split apart in a 500 million year cycle.
52-63 mya intense igneous activity formed the British Tertiary Volcanic Province.

Winds drive ocean currents in the upper 100 meters of the ocean’s surface. However, ocean currents also flow thousands of meters below the surface. These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water’s density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation.
An excellent example of the glacial diversion of drainage. The present route of the River Clyde occupies a bedrock gorge which was cut following the infilling of its former course by glacial deposits.
The Falls of Clyde provide a particularly striking example of the effects of glacial disruption of drainage. The original channel of the Clyde was infilled with glacial deposits, forcing the river to adopt a new course. The latter takes the form of a bedrock gorge and is distinguished by the presence of two waterfalls. The site is important in illustrating some of the indirect, but nevertheless significant, effects of glaciation on the landscape.
Carstairs Kames is a classic site, long renowned for its glacial landforms. These comprise a series of esker ridges, kames and kettle holes, one of the best such assemblages in Britain formed by the meltwater (rivers) of the last ice sheet as it decayed approximately 13,000 years ago.
Tinto Hill is important for studies of periglacial processes, illustrating the best example of active stone stripes in Scotland.
Felsite Tinto Hill is composed entirely of felsite, a fine grained but not glassy volcanic rock. It is high in silica or felsic, typically consisting of the minerals quartz, plagioclase feldspar and alkali feldspar. Felsite is usually called the extrusive equivalent of granite. It is very prone to frost shattering and felsite hills often produce active scree slopes.A maritime periglacial climate prevails in Scotland above about 600 metres resulting in sorted patterned ground on loose scree material.
Although active stone stripes are known from a number of mountains in the Highlands and Islands, the examples on Tinto Hill are exceptional for their size, clarity and degree of development. Tinto Hill is also the first locality in Scotland at which such features were described in detail.
