| Description: | Looking eastwards across the Bannock Burn, north of North Third Reservoir towards the escarpment of the Stirling quartz-dolerite sill at Sauchie Craigs. The sill is intruded into sediments in the lower part of the Carboniferous Lower Limestone Group. A line of tips marks old opencast workings in the Murrayshall (Hurlet) Limestone at the base of the Group. A series of gullies which interrupt the escarpment mark lines of highly decomposed dolerite along major joints. 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. |
