| Caption: | Stirling Castle from about 30 m. north of the pavilion, King's Park, Stirling. The flat of the high '100 ft. raised beach' at a level of about 120 feet above O.D. resting on the dip-slope of the Stirling Sill. |
| Description: | Stirling Castle from about 30 m. north of the pavilion, King's Park, Stirling. The flat of the high '100 ft. raised beach' at a level of about 120 feet above O.D. resting on the dip-slope of the Stirling Sill. The term raised beach in this context is slightly misleading as many of the deposits are of fluvioglacial origin and were laid down on the margins of the estuary in a series of deltas rather than strictly a littoral (beach) deposit. The escarpment formed by the Stirling Sill farther north, below the old town of Stirling, where it rises to a higher stratigraphical level may be seen in the background. |
