This series of posters around Scottish soils was originally designed in collaboration with Geography teachers from Scottish schools. In light of the enlightened public interest in soils as a result of 2015 being the International Year of Soils, they were updated.
Please enjoy working with this information whether you are a teacher, pupil, mother, father, grandparent, son or daughter, and celebrate the great diversity of soils we have in Scotland and the many functions they deliver to enrich our lives.
