| Description: | Oblique aerial view from above Craigend, looking east towards Moncreiffe Hill showing a 50 m. high road-cutting (M90) in Lower Devonian lavas. The Tay Valley can be seen in the distance. The south (right) side of Moncreiffe Hill is a major fault scarp with Upper Devonian sandstones occupying the lower ground of the Earn Valley. Note the stepped nature of the cutting, an aid to slope stability. The motorway is still under construction in the photograph. |
