A series of ten programmes on the ways in which the landscapes around us reveal the fascinating story of their own evolution. 1: Out of the Fire
Several times in the distant past British volcanoes belched fire over the landscape.
Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh (above) is part of an extinct cone of a volcano active 350 million years ago.
