| Caption: | Oblique aerial view of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Craigs, looking from above Leith Links. |
| Description: | The ridges of Whinny Hill and the Long Row to the left (north) are the remains of the lava flows; the sharp Salisbury Craigs in front are formed of a slightly younger teschenite (dolerite) sill. Its dip slope to the left is clearly displayed, also the steep scree slope below the crags to the right. In the front right, are the regular terraces of the Edinburgh New Town houses built on gently sloping late-glacial beach deposits. The remnants of the Lower Carboniferous volcano form Queen's Park in the middle distance: the Arthur's Seat summit is formed of agglomerate and intrusions filling the volcanic vents. |
