| Caption: | Stirling Castle sitting on the escarpment formed by the Stirling quartz-dolerite sill, taken from 305 m. west of Kildean Farm, west of Stirling. |
| Description: | The Stirling Sill known from borehole evidence to be 300 feet thick is intruded at various horizons ranging from the top of the Calciferous Sandstone Measures to the Limestone Coal Group, both Carboniferous. It changes from horizon to horizon by dyke-like 'risers'. Note the hay-ricks in the foreground. The flat area in the foreground is a low 25 ft. raised beach. The sill is regarded as late Carboniferous - early Permian age. |
