Description: | Bedshiel Kaims. Berwickshire. North-east end of the esker, known as Bedshiel Kaims. The view looking to the south-west shows 'Horse Kaim' and on the left of the picture, in shadow, 'Green Kaims'. The esker varies in height between 6 m. and 12 m. above the flattish surface of glacial till on which it rests. Patches of peat and alluvium have formed on either side of the esker. Eskers are a fluvioglacial landform formed at the retreating edge of a glacier or in a subglacial or englacial tunnel. |
