| Caption: | View eastwards across the Touch Hills towards Stirling and the Ochils. |
| Description: | Especially prominent are the crags below Stirling Castle (in shadow) and the Abbey Craig (distinguished by the tower of the Wallace Memorial). Behind Abbey Craig lie the Lower Old Red Sandstone lavas of the Ochil Hills cut off to the south by the Ochil Fault. In the background to the south (right) of the Ochil Hills is the low drift-covered ground underlain by the Upper Carboniferous rocks of the Clackmannan Syncline. In the foreground lie the prominent trap features of the Calciferous Sandstone Series lavas. Behind these in the middle distance lie the series of wooded escarpments formed by the Stirling quartz-dolerite sill. |
