Salisbury Crags

by Lucie Dumont on Oct 22, 2025
Salisbury Crags

One of the most striking spots in Edinburgh, Salisbury Crags is a cliff of dark volcanic rock that rises above Holyrood Park. It is a central site in modern geology, particularly in the context of the Earth’s history. Scottish geologist James Hutton studied the cliffs in the 1700s, making the groundbreaking discovery that rocks could form from volcanic processes underground. Currently, the Crags are a beloved viewpoint of the city - a favourite for both visitors and locals. 

爱丁堡最引人注目的景点之一——索尔兹伯里悬崖,是由深色火山岩构成的峭壁,耸立于荷里路德公园之上。这里是现代地质学的重要研究基地,尤其在地球历史研究领域具有特殊意义。18世纪,苏格兰地质学家詹姆斯·赫顿对悬崖进行研究,开创性地发现岩石可由地下的火山作用形成。如今,这片岩崖已成为备受喜爱的城市观景点——无论游客还是本地居民都对其青睐有加。

Is e aon de na h-àiteachan as iongantaiche ann an Dùn Èideann, Salisbury Crags, creag de chreig bholcànach dhorcha a tha ag èirigh os cionn Pàirc Holyrood. Tha e na làrach meadhanach ann an geòlas an latha an-diugh, gu sònraichte ann an co-theacsa eachdraidh na Talmhainn. Rinn an geòlaiche Albannach Seumas Hutton sgrùdadh air na creagan anns na 1700an, a’ dèanamh an lorg ùr-ghnàthach gum faodadh creagan a bhith air an cruthachadh bho phròiseasan bholcànach fon talamh. An-dràsta, tha na Creagan nan àite-seallaidh measail air a’ bhaile - fear as fheàrr le luchd-tadhail agus muinntir an àite.

L'un des sites les plus remarquables d'Édimbourg, Salisbury Crags est une falaise de roche volcanique sombre qui surplombe Holyrood Park. Il s'agit d'un site central dans la géologie moderne, en particulier dans le contexte de l'histoire de la Terre. Le géologue écossais James Hutton a étudié ces falaises dans les années 1700, faisant la découverte révolutionnaire que les roches pouvaient se former à partir de processus volcaniques souterrains. Aujourd'hui, les Crags sont un point de vue très apprécié de la ville, tant par les visiteurs que par les habitants. 

Uno de los lugares más llamativos de Edimburgo, Salisbury Crags es un acantilado de roca volcánica oscura que se eleva sobre Holyrood Park. Es un lugar fundamental para la geología moderna, especialmente en el contexto de la historia de la Tierra. El geólogo escocés James Hutton estudió los acantilados en el siglo XVIII y realizó el revolucionario descubrimiento de que las rocas podían formarse a partir de procesos volcánicos subterráneos. En la actualidad, los Crags son un mirador muy apreciado de la ciudad, uno de los favoritos tanto de los visitantes como de los lugareños.
