| Description: | The Devil's Bridge, Holborn Head. Caithness. A 'blow-hole' or 'gloup' is developed in the well-jointed Old Red Sandstone flagstones. Looking seawards. Marine erosion and subsidence along joints in flagstone giving rise to 'blow-hole' or 'gloup'. During storms spray is explosively blown into the air through the blow-hole. The photograph shows the scattered fragments of rock recently expelled from the blow-hole on the sward in foreground. |
