| Description: | Laig, Isle of Eigg. A kettle hole in mixed hummocky morainic deposits and landslip deposits below the Tertiary lava escarpment. A slipped mass of lava lies above and to the left of the kettle hole. The kettle hole formed due to the melting of a large, detached block of stagnant ice left behind by a retreating glacier. It is thought that this morainic debris was derived from the lava plateau together with the landslipped material. |
