| Description: | Couthalley Castle, Carstairs. Lanarkshire. Esker ridges. Looking north-east. A complex of narrow steep-sided esker ridges trending north-east to south-west in a band 5 km. long by 100 m. to 700 m. wide. The eskers are composed of clayey boulder gravel. They are a fluvioglacial landform originating from continuous deposition at the mouth of a subglacial stream as the ice retreated, or from the infilling of the tunnels of these streams before recession. |
