Description: | Oblique aerial view of Lindores Loch, looking north-east towards Glenduckie Hill and Norman's Law. Fifeshire. An esker ridge is situated on the east shore of the loch, while the loch itself is a kettle hole, both are glacial landforms. The esker, the narrow, low, sinuous ridge with rough pasture consists of sands and gravels and was deposited from a subglacial or englacial stream flowing between the ice walls or in an ice tunnel. The kettle hole, a depression in the ground, was formed when a large mass of stagnant ice covered by drift melted leaving a hollow that filled with water. |
