Here's a worthy geoheritage cause; the Scottish Geology Trust is running a crowdfunding campaign for a "Deep Time Trail" at Siccar Point ahead of the 300th anniversary of James Hutton's Birth next year.

It looks like access has already been improved since I last visited (when you parked by a vegetable farm and clambered over fences), but some proper interpretative signage would be a real boon.

There's 4 days left to contribute, and if you can afford £30/$40 or more, you have a chance to snag a copy of one of the very pretty sketches prepared to illustrate Hutton's "Theory of the Earth", but never published. I especially like the one of Arran (number 18), but plenty of other temptations!
