Description
Picturesque landscape with Jacob sheep - Edinburgh, Scotland.
This suburban area of Woodhall is nestled below the Pentland Hills and scattered with the rare breed of Jacob sheep. Their striking piebald fleece and four horns add a wonderful interest to the landscape.
The disused quarry of Torphin in the background, was formerly exploited for the iron-rich igneous rocks. The exposures consist of layers of lava interbedded with volcanic ash dating back 410 million years, to the early Devonian Period. It was one of the first Local Geodiversity Sites in the city and remains the only one with a geological management plan.
