| Description: | Oblique aerial view of the River Tay below Perth, looking south-west towards the towards the new M85 road bridge works below Friarton Island which can be seen on the right. The roadworks are on fill of a buried channel of the River Tay, a late-glacial erosional feature. This channel descends to at least 29 m. below Ordnance Datum. Devonian lavas exposed in road-cuttings and Friarton on ridge beyond river. The buried channel descending to at least 29 m. below O.D. is clear evidence of the late-glacial fall in sea level, almost certainly during the period called the Loch Lomond Stadial. |
