Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags form an unmistakable part of Edinburgh's skyline. Rising 247 metres above sea level Arthur's Seat is one of five visible volcanic vents left over from volcanic activity in the area 354 million years ago. The peak's name is possibly a corruption of the gaellic Ard-na-saith, meaning height of arrows, indicating a past usage as a practice place for archery. It is also known as the Lion's Head.
The Scottish Independence Referendum took place on 18th September 2014. Voters were asked to answer "Yes" or "No" to the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?" The "No" side won with 55.3% of the vote. The turnout was exceptionally high- 84.6% demonstrating how much the electorate had engaged with the debate. The "Yes Scotland" campaign was led by First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond and the "Better Together" campaign was led by the Right Honourable Alastair Darling, M.P.
