Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano located in Edinburgh, erupted around 350 million years ago during the Carboniferous period. The eruption was caused by volcanic activity related to tectonic movements, which allowed magma to rise to the Earth's surface. Over time, erosion has shaped the landscape, leaving behind the hill we see today. It is now a popular hiking destination, offering stunning views of the city.

Is Edinburgh's volcano still active?

No the Volcano in the Scottish Capital has been extinct for many years even before man. The last eruption was between 350 and 400 million years ago. The vents inside are blocked and will not erupt again the future. If the Volcano was to erupt the vents would have to open up by earthquakes and new magma would take place under the volcano, but this won't happen as it is to cold, solidified and completey blocked. Yes there is a Volcano in Scotland not many people believe this, its in the heart of Edinburgh and its called Arthur's Seat, the ancient volcano of Scotland.

Is it 100 percent impossible for Edinburgh volcano to erupt?

Arthur's Seat in Ediburgh is an extinct volcano so it is virtually impossible for it to erupt. I wouldn't say it is totally impossible because something unforeseen could occur which might trigger an eruption, like a strike on it by a nuclear missile of an asteroid impact, but this is incredibly unlikely. The odds of an eruption are probably 99.9999% recurring
