| Description: | Edinburgh Castle from Johnston Terrace. Midlothian. A plug of Dalmeny-type basalt rises almost vertically through Cementstone Group strata of Lower Carboniferous age to form the Edinburgh Castle Rock. The dip of the sediments near the faulted contact is steep while further east (right) they dip gently away from the plug. The faulted junction falls diagonally down from near the base of the castle walls on the right of the photograph. It is thought that the plug may have sealed an orifice through which lavas of Lower Carboniferous age flowed. |
