| Description: | Near Carrick, north-east Fife. Looking east-south-east. Steep-sided esker ridge formed of ill-sorted glacial sand and gravel, containing much boulder and cobble grade material. The deposit has been worked by the quarry in the middle distance. The low ground to the south-west of the ridge is underlain by thin alluvial silts and clays of the Motray Water on fluvioglacial sand, the latter deposit also forms the steep-sided hill in the distance. |
