Prof Luke Daly, also of the University of Glasgow, led a team of academic volunteers and several citizen scientists who recently spent several days scouring the western side of the fall line.
Their efforts were cut short by bad weather before they could recover any fragments.
He said: “I think we spotted everything else that was black in the area – slugs, stones and sheep droppings – so there’s hope someone can locate a meteorite.”
The professor said three or four meteorites land in the UK every year but it has been more than a century since a fragment was found in Scotland.
In 2021, he led the team which recovered the largest intact fragment of the Winchcombe meteorite, the first of its kind to be retrieved on UK soil in nearly 30 years.
Prof Daly said: “Meteorites are time capsules of the early solar system, which hold a wealth of information about how it formed and developed.
“This is a very exciting opportunity to learn more about where this rock came from and where it has been and fill in a bit more of the jigsaw of our solar system’s history.”
