| Description: | Douglasmouth Bridge. Lanarkshire. Looking east. Profile of an esker near Sandilands. Crookboat Farm is to the left. The foreground is occupied by the flood plain of the Douglas Water. The esker is a long sinuous, narrow crested ridge that consists of sands and gravels laid down by glacial meltwater. Eskers formed at the retreating edge of a glacier or in a subglacial or englacial tunnel. Note the very flat flood plain caused by the meandering of the Douglas Water. |
