| Description: | The Carlin Stane, Hill of Dunmore, 10.5 km. east-south-east of Stirling. Large erratic boulder (9 x 6 x 5 ft.) of Lower Old Red Sandstone with pebbles of quartzite etc., resting on Millstone Grit sandstones (not seen in photo). Known according to Milne-Home ('Estuary of the Forth', 1871, p.49), as the 'Carlin Stane', this boulder lies 549 m. south-west of Dunmore Park Mansion and 137 m. east of pond. Erratics are a characteristic feature of glaciated regions. They are ice-transported boulders that can be carried far from their parent outcrops. |
