Description: | Burn flowing into Torduff Reservoir (at south end), and Pentland Hills. Midlothian. Local base of Upper Old Red Sandstone (at top of lower waterfall) resting upon Lower Old Red Sandstone acid lavas. The junction is unconformable, i.e. there was a significant break in the depositional sequence between the two units. The Upper Old Red Sandstone consists of mainly sandstones together with a few thin cornstones (caliche) which represent fossil soils in the then tropical climate. |
