| Description: | Stirling Castle Rock from the south-south-west. The photograph shows the quartz-dolerite sill rising from the flat carseland, to the left and with the Ochil Hills in the background. The Stirling sill is known from borehole evidence to be about 300 ft. thick and is intruded into various horizons ranging from the top of the Calciferous Sandstone Measures to about the middle of the Limestone Coal Group (both Carboniferous). The outcrop here is one of of several striking westward-facing crags which extend south from Abbey Craig and Stirling Castle along the western limb of the Clackmannan Syncline, a major structural feature of the area. |
