Best Volcanoes: Ardnamurchan Wins Third Place

Wanderlust magazine recently came up with an unusual list of places to visit - the UK's nine top volcanoes.  First place went to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, second was Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, and Ardnamurchan came third.

As the author pointed out, Britain is perhaps fortunate in not having any active volcanoes but the landscapes left by those in our geological past created some of the most spectacular scenery in the county.
