| Description: | Torduff Reservoir, Pentland Hills, Edinburgh. Midlothian. Reservoir in valley excavated along line of fault ('shatter belt') between Old Red Sandstone acid lavas (right) and basic lavas (left). Purplish-grey basalt lavas of the Warklaw Group occur on the left with pale-grey fine-grained trachyte lavas which closely resemble those of the Braid Hills on the right. In late glacial times this valley formed part of a drainage channel which was cut during the final stage in the northward retreat of the ice-sheet from the Pentland Hills. |
