A bonnie sunny day greets us as we spin around Arthurs Seat Edinburgh, summer is coming and so are the visitors to Edinburgh’s Capital Edinburgh…

Arthur’s Seat is an extinct volcano, which erupted around 340 million years ago. At that time, Scotland was a very different place, located close to the equator. The rocks of Holyrood Park give us some clues about what it was like in the past – there are sandstones formed in shallow seas and laid down by rivers, layers of volcanic ash created by many explosive eruptions of the ancient volcano, and lava flows representing quieter times.”
