There seems to be a star very low down near the solway first around Annan area. Ive never heard of gold in that area. I would be interested to hear any research on anything that close to the solway.
It depends on where you are panning. You need to check the regulations for that area and gain permission from the landowner/ owner of the mineral rights for that land. Some places require a license (Wanlockhead, Kildonan), others (like Crown Estates) ban recreational gold panning completely (www.crownestatescotland.com/resources/documents/crown-estate-scotland-statement-on-recreational-gold-panning). If you are panning you need to be careful not to damage river beds, or pan when fish are spawning (www.sepa.org.uk/media/219101/national-gold-panning-position-and-good-practice.pdf) Hope that helps!
I can say with 100% certainty that there is gold near Dunoon, Argyll. Although if I'm completely honest I don't think a couple of fly poop sized bits count, do they? 🤣My own investigations continue though!
ILL add that i found Electrum and found Dendritic gold at Tyndrum as far as i know not found by any of the open university geologists . But biggy hint a guy from Birmingham hitchiked up with just a haversack and went up the Corornish came back after two days with jar of nuggets
Amazing tslk being a gold prospector in the uk this is extremely helpful so thank you
I have seen some in the highlands in rural untouched streams im going up this weekend to take it all lol
Brilliant show, I'm so interested in the history and geological layout of my beautiful country SCOTLAND.... Thank you...
Nice Sharing. Wonderful Talk.

@@scottishgeologytrust It does thank you for responding.
why has gold not been exploited in the past in Scotland?
Because the queen owns the gold.
it has.. do some research . even today there is a gold mine.. all about economics ..
