Old Photograph Auchencrow Scotland

Old photograph of houses and cottages in Auchencrow in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. James Hutton, the founder of modern geology, farmed two miles to the west of this Scottish village. James, born 3 June 1726, died 26 March 1797, was a Scottish geologist, physician, chemical manufacturer, naturalist, and experimental agriculturalist. He originated the theory of uniformitarianism, a fundamental principle of geology, which explains the features of the Earth's crust by means of natural processes over geologic time.
