| Caption: | Looking eastwards from Craigbrock Hill towards Stirling and the Ochil Hills. |
| Description: | The sill is intruded at horizons within the Lower Limestone Group and Limestone Coal Group. In the background on the left of the photograph lie the Lower Old Red Sandstone lavas of the Ochil Hills, cut off sharply to the south by the Ochil Fault. Bings from pits working Limestone Coal Group coals below the deep drift deposits of the Carse of Stirling may be seen behind the sill escarpment. The prominent trap features in the foreground are formed by Calciferous Sandstone Measures lavas. In the middle distance are the wooded crags of the Stirling quartz-dolerite sill which steps upwards geodetically from Gillies Hill in the south to King's Park, to Stirling Castle and to Abbey Craig in the north. |
