| Description: | Linnhead Farm, Lesmahagow. Lanarkshire. A small peat-filled kettle hole partially water-filled. Its extent is shown up well by the margin of the corn which will not grow within the kettle hole due to inferior drainage. The tree-covered ridge in the background is a steep-sided esker, a long, sinuous, narrow crested ridge that consists of sands and gravels laid down by glacial meltwater that extends over about 3 km. west from Drummond Hill. A kettle hole is a bowl-shaped depression that is formed by the melting of a large, detached block of melting stagnant ice that had been buried in the glacial drift left by a retreating glacier. |
