Re: Edinburgh castle

Wow - that is stunning - love the colours! Is it true that the castle is built on an old volcano?

In 1103, Edinburgh Castle was built on Castle Rock, which was formed as the result of a volcano erupting several hundred million years previously.

Thanks, Roxy, I knew there was a volcano involved somewhere along the line!

That's right, Edinburgh Castle is actually built on top of the remains of a volcano. The volcano in question had actually erupted millions of years prior to the construction of the castle, obviously, leaving nothing but a giant hill on which the original architects saw fit for such a fortress.
