ALT Photo-mosaic showing the front and back of the neckwarmer, whic features a
photograph of Siccar Point, blue sea, and the Scottish Geology Trust logo, and 5 photos of a
woman with long hair and glasses wearing the neckwarmer in different ways. The top two
photos show it being worn as a pirate-style bandana, with a focus on blue sea on the left
image and pink / yellow rocks and lichen on the right. In the middle image the neckwarmer is
being worn as a headband and the woman is pointing to the unconformity plane. In th bottom
two images it is being worn as around the neck. The first five images of the woman are all
against a plain magnolia wall, but the last one has a backdrop of mountains and a lake a
sunset.
