| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Black Loch, 5.5 km. south-south-west of Dunbar, East Lothian. Looking east-north-east. A glacial meltwater channel. The meltwater channel now has no flowing water. During deglaciation, as the climate improved and the ice-sheet covering the area began to break up the Southern Upland ice retreated south to form an isolated cap with glaciers in such valleys as the Whiteadder. Ice-free ground appeared along the slopes of the Lammermuir Hills. Large volumes of glacial meltwater were released to cut numerous glacial meltwater channels. |
