Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of the Bass Rock The Bass stands in the mouth of the Frith of Forth, about a mile and a half from the shore. It is fully a mile in circumference. It is about 600 feet in total length, 420 above the surface of the sea. On the north it is lofty and precipitous. On the south it is somewhat conical, sloping moderately down to the base. Its superficies is guessed at seven acres. The Bass is inaccessible, save at one point, the south-east. At one time the fortification which commanded this point could be reached only by ladders, or a bucket and chains raised at the crane bastion; but afterwards the ascent was by three flights of stairs within the rampart, each protected by a strong gate; these inner gates have long ago disappeared. The fort and the dungeons are all unroofed and in ruins; Blackadder's Cell is still pointed out, with its three small iron-barred windows to the west, and awakens many a solemn sacred feeling. One solitary gun yet remains of the ancient defence, now much corroded; the few other cannon on the Bass were brought thither from Leith in 1822 to salute George IV. on his visit to Scotland. The king of Belgium visited the Bass in 1819. About half-way up the acclivity of the rock, a little below the old exposed garden, are the interesting remains of a chapel, pretty entire; the wells for the fonts show that it was built prior to the Reformation. When the Bass became the Bastile of Scotland, the state prison for the persecuted Covenanters, this chapel was desecrated by being made the ammunition magazine for the garrison. The Bass for many generations was the property of an ancient family styled Lauder of the Bass, one of whom is stated to have been a compatriot of Wallace.
