Golledge, N.R.. 2007 Summary report on the Arthur's Seat rockfall, Edinburgh, February 2007. British Geological Survey, 13pp. (IR/07/033) (Unpublished)
Abstract
This report describes the geological context of a small rockfall event from exposed bedrock faces
on the southern side of Arthur’s Seat, near the locality known as Samson’s Ribs approximately
two kilometres southeast of Edinburgh city centre. Rockfall from the cliffs resulted in debris
lying in the road and some minor damage to a stone wall. Consequently the road was closed until
the debris could be removed and an inspection of the slope carried out. The rockfall probably
occurred as a result of prolonged and intensive rainfall, combined with strong winds.
