Kirkcaldy Harbour, Fife

Volcanic remnants

Uploader's Comments

Looking south from Fife's coastal path between Kirkcaldy and Kinghorn many remnants of Scotland's violent volcanic past are to be seen. The stumps of ancient volcanoes like the island of Inchkeith and Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags in Edinburgh contrast with the folded sedimentary rocks along the Fife shoreline. The Pentland Hills (right background) are volcanic too.
