| Description: | Oblique aerial view of St. Abb's from the east. Berwickshire. The rocks in the foreground are intrusive porphyrites and agglomerates. The rocks on the shore are intrusive porphyrites and unbedded agglomerates, probably within a volcanic vent, of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. Beyond the trees in middle distance the high ground is formed of Silurian greywackes and siltstones. The vent, while not clearly defined, is recognized as such by the chaotic distribution of igneous and pyroclastic rocks on the well-exposed shore and cliffs, and by the extensive occurrence of very coarse agglomerates unlike any of the bedded sequence of St. Abb's Head. |
