There is a book by an author called Giekie who published a book `the ancient

volcanoes of Great Britain` it is long out of print and fetches high bids on websites, it may be possible to obtain this through your local library who will charge a fee as it would had to be obtained from a special library and even may

only be available in the reference section due to its value.

Does the United Kingdom have any volcanoes?

There are no active volcanoes in the UK. There are, however, many mountains which are volcanic in origin. There are a number of extinct volcanoes in the UK and some fairly significant volcanic features. However they all tend to date from a very long time in the geological past. Some examples include the Borrowdale Volcanic rocks in the Lake District which date from around 450 million years ago. Other examples include Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh which is the glacially eroded remains of a 350 million year old Carboniferous volcano. Another famous example is Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland which is a basaltic lava plateau that dates from around 50-60 million years ago during the Paleogene.

Why does Scotland not get volcanic eruptions?

There are no active volcanoes in Scotland, only extinct ones which do not erupt. However, according to recent scientific research, there is evidence of lightweight UK earthquakes and the re-activation of dormant pre-historic volcanoes.
