This evening 18 of July 2026, our members enjoyed a fascinating presentation from Stuart K. Monro on the life, achievements, and enduring legacy of James Hutton, often regarded as the father of modern geology.

Dr Monro explored Hutton’s remarkable contributions to science and highlighted how his pioneering ideas transformed our understanding of the Earth and laid the foundations for many areas of modern geological and environmental research.

It was an engaging and thought-provoking evening, filled with learning, discussion, and appreciation for one of Scotland’s greatest scientific minds.

Our sincere thanks to Dr Monro for sharing his expertise and inspiring us with this journey through Scotland’s scientific heritage.

🌸 End Polio Now – Rotary Club of Leith 🌸

Marking Rotary’s global mission to End Polio Now, purple crocus bulbs have been planted in local nurseries and parks across our community.

The colour purple carries a powerful meaning — it reflects the dye used to mark the little fingers of children after they have been vaccinated against polio.

A small flower with a big message: a world free from polio is within reach.

Together, we continue the fight. 💜
