This stunning sketch of Arthur’s Seat, by John Clerk of Eldin, illustrates how underlying geology can shape the landscape and shows James Hutton’s understanding of igneous rocks formed by the injection of magma into existing strata.

A sketch showing the landscape of a small mountain with a central peak surrounded by ridges dipping to the left. The bottom of the sketch imagines what the rocks look like below ground, with bands of light-shaded grey and red rock dipping to the left; the grey rocks are labelled “whinstone” and are connected by dykes cutting across the red strata.

In the middle image the neckwarmer is being worn as a headband and the woman is pointing to the unconformity plane. In th bottom two images it is being worn as around the neck. The first five images of the woman are all against a plain magnolia wall, but the last one has a backdrop of mountains and a lake a sunset.
