| Description: | Allt Druidh. Looking up the Lairig Ghru. Inverness-shire. Creag an Leth-choin (Lurcher's Crag) on the left and Sron na Lairige on the right (west) side of the Lairig Ghru. Gorge eroded in morainic drift left from the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the Quaternary period. The fluvioglacial terraces in middle distance are the remains of deltaic deposits laid down by the drainage from the hillsides and high-level corrie glaciers into a glacial lake being held up by the Lairig Ghru glacier. |
