follow me so that you can follow my grandpa , the rockstars life
My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share
When I was about 10 years old my grandpa and I went down to Climping beach in West Sussex and we made this miniature golfer out the stones we found , he made it by using a piece of thin metal to hold it all together. A core memory of mine !

Sorry for lack of updates about grandpa… he’s had enough of the fame haha. But he’s still alive and kicking in case anyone was wondering!
Anyone who is still interested in grandpa ! The map has been given on loan to the Geological Society in Piccadilly , London. Where it is on display for anyone wanting to go look at it !
London was founded by the Romans in 47 AD. So in 23 years (2047) I think we should have a huge 2000th birthday party. Not many major world cities with a continuous name can say that.
Grandpa out and about for a coffee and bumped into a fan ! Had to sign it for her obviously If you’d like a a print like this then head to the link on my bio !
