| Description: | Looking north from near Loch a' Gharbh-choire, 12.1 km. east of Aviemore. A plain of morainic drift and fluvioglacial gravels. Part of the great outwash plain of the Strathspey glacier that completely stretches across the strath below Aviemore, pours out of the mouth of Glen More and extends into the lower part of the Nethy Valley where the gravels are reinforced by the outwash deposits of the former Nethy glacier. An outwash plain is a broad gently-sloping sheet of sand and gravels deposited by meltwaters from an ice sheet or glacier. |
