| Description: | Blackford Hill, south side of Edinburgh. Midlothian. Northern limit of escarpment of Blackford Hill andesite lava flow resting on volcanic agglomerate. Blackford Hill Pond is located on the extreme left. The slope of the hill is in great part the revival of a pre-Carboniferous feature from which the Upper Old Red Sandstone has been denuded in preglacial times. The pond is in a hollow gouged out by ice deflected round the north side of Blackford Hill. Blackford Hill is the northern continuation of the Lower Devonian Pentland Hills Volcanic Rocks. Its present crag and tail shape was formed by an easterly-flowing ice-sheet. |
