| Description: | St. Baldred's Cradle, Whitekirk. East Lothian. Looking west. A Craiglockhart type basaltic oval plug 300 m. by 200 m. is intruded into Calciferous Sandstone Measures. It is a Carboniferous intrusion related to the Garleton Hills Volcanic Rocks. The plug is intruded into bedded sandstones and red marls which form the foreshore. The junction is at or near high water mark. The dip of the country rock increases from 10 to 45 degrees inwards at the plug margin possibly due to collapse after intrusion. The rock is black, fresh and well jointed containing large black augite phenocrysts in a fine-grained basaltic matrix. |
