| Description: | South of Corrie, Arran. An erratic, a granite boulder ice-transported eastwards from the main Northern Granite mass during the last glaciation. Erratics are a characteristic feature of glaciated regions and are common on Arran. Most of the erratic boulders and blocks of Arran are of local origin, a phenomenon thought to be due to the protecting influence of the local ice-cap. It is estimated that these large erratics can be up to 400 tons in weight. |
