| Caption: | Arthur's Seat from south-west. Midlothian. |
| Description: | Arthur's Seat, the remains of a Dinantian, early Carboniferous volcano. The photograph shows 3 of the 5 vents through which lavas and ashes were erupted. The volcano was later covered by sediments then earth-movements folded and tilted the rocks by 20-30 degrees and subsequent erosion caused the landforms shown. Basalt of Lion's Head vent (left) and of Lion's Haunch vent (right). Agglomerate in volcanic vents of rock slope. Sill of teschenite in middle distance underlain by Upper Old Red Sandstone seen at bend of road. |
