Scotlands mountains and glens retain the secrets of the long and frequently violent geological history that has gone into their making. Volcanoes have played a major role in the creation of Scotland and while the youngest, a mere sixty million years old, were responsible for much of the scenic splendour of the Inner Hebrides, the rocks composing many of the famous Scottish landforms as, for example, those of Glencoe and the Edinburgh district are also the direct result of volcanism.Volcanoes and the Making of Scotland explores back in time from the most recent examples to volcanoes of the obscure Precambrian times which left their signature in the ancient rocks of the far northwest. Geographically the book ranges across all of Scotland from Shetland to the Borders. Reflecting current research into Scotlands geology, the author also speculates as to the climate, geography and ecology of the longgone landscapes in which the volcanoes of differing ages were created and destroyed.The book is extensively illustrated with maps, sketches, crosssections and photographs and relates what can currently be seen in the worndown remains of Scotlands old volcanoes to active analogues around the world. This book vividly brings life and meaning to what the layman would otherwise regard as cold and incomprehensible rocks.
