A revised edition of the successful Edinburgh book. The tranquil appearance of the city of Edinburgh nestling between the surrounding hills and the undulating countryside of West Lothian belies their dramatic volcanic past. The Lothian landscape took over 400 million years to reach its present shape. This publication tells the story of its journey from erupting volcanoes, through rivers, seas and ice-caps, to the peaceful parks, restored quarries and level playing fields we see today.

Landscape Fashioned by Geology Series: These illustrated booklets explain how the countryside around us developed over geological time, relating familiar views to the rocks beneath. Produced jointly with the British Geological Survey.
