| Description: | Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Craigs from Blackford Hill. Midlothian. The remains of an ancient volcano that was active 350 million years ago in the Dinantian, early Carboniferous period. Part of the volcano has now been lost through subsequent uplift, tilting and erosion. Basalt of Lion's Head vent and Lion's Haunch vent in background on right. Columnar sill of teschenite forming Salisbury Craigs on the left in the background. The view of Edinburgh from Blackford Hill as it was in 1913. Quite different from today, being less built up and the vegetation less mature. |
