Edinburgh sits draped across a varied landscape of craggy hills and deep, damp scoops. It is easy to take this landscape and its underlying geology for granted, as simply the stage on which Edinburgh's story has played out. But geology has had a profound influence on the city: arguably the city is only here because of Castle Rock and the long ridge underlying the Royal Mile. And geology has provided building material and energy, as well as placing the city at the heart of the development of ideas on how the world works. Dr Angus Miller is a Teaching Fellow and Course Organiser at the Centre for Open Learning at the University of Edinburgh. Alongside that, he runs Geowalks, helping people to explore Scotland’s geology and discover the rich story of our rocks and landscapes.
