| Description: | The Castle Rocks, Dunbar from the south-west, East Lothian. Kinnesswood Formation sandstones cut by dyke-like intrusion of analcite-olivine basalt, volcanic neck filled with agglomerate, and plug of analcime basanite. Ruined castle in distance. The country rock in this area is sandstone with cornstone beds (Kinnesswood Formation - latest Devonian to earliest Carboniferous), which forms the pale-coloured, horizontally-bedded strata (foreground, and, in distance, below and to right of dyke (i)). These sandstones are intruded by: (i) a dyke-like intrusion of analcite-olivine basalt forming the upstanding ridge (centre); (ii) a volcanic vent now filled by a mass of fine agglomerate (below dyke on left and possibly extending to stack in foreground); and (iii) a plug of analcime basanite (far right distance). Note ruined castle in distance just to right of stack. |
