| Caption: | Blackford Hill from the Braid Hills, south side of Edinburgh. Midlothian. |
| Description: | The present crag and tail shape was formed by an easterly-flowing ice-sheet. The Braid Burn holds a misfit stream. The valley was carved out by ice deflected round the south side of Blackford Hill and was further deepened as the ice melted and large amounts of water flowed through from the Water of Leith at Colinton. Escarpment of andesite lava flow forming Blackford Hill, with intervening preglacial valley filled with boulder clay now traversed by the Braid Burn. Arthur's Seat seen in distance. |
