| Description: | Oblique aerial view of the Arthur's Seat volcano and the Pentland Hills, looking from the north-east. The remnants of the Lower Carboniferous Arthur's Seat volcano form Queen's Park in the middle distance. Crow Hill and the Arthur's Seat summit to the back are formed of agglomerate and intrusions filling the volcanic vents. Dunsapie Hill, on left and half-hiding Dunsapie Loch, is a satellite dolerite plug. Whinny Hill to the front is formed of the remains of the lava flows, Salisbury Craigs, on the right, is the dip slope of a slightly younger teschenite (dolerite) sill: the keyhole-shaped Crags Vent and the Camstone Quarries stand out on the dip slope. The higher, rounded Pentland Hills, on the skyline, are Lower Devonian lavas, tuffs and red sandstones. |
