Caving in limestone caves

We have been looking at limestone in the II Form. Caving is a sport which is made possible by the weathering and erosion of the caves and tunnels deep underground. The following clips show two sides to the sport - fun and, unfortunaely, tragedy.

Some good general interest sites

Some good new websites have come to our attention in the last few days:

• BBC Scotland has a good 'Bitesize' site with information and case studies on flooding, migration and hazards.


• Another BBC Scotland site has information on coastal pressures which is good for the AS course.


• SEPA has a good animation which shows areas of Scotland at risk from flooding. Type in your postcode to see if you are likely to get wet!
• A fantastic simulator which allows you to control the flood policies of the UK

Pringle online revision

There are some online revision tests for II and III form to help prepare for the forthcoming exams. They can be accessed (within school) by clicking here. Logon with your surname as both the username and password (unless your teacher has given you a different logon - if your surname is too short!)
