Description: Kae Heughs, Garleton Hills. East Lothian. Marginal glacial drainage channel, coincident with trap featuring of the trachyte lavas of the Garleton Hills volcanic rocks. As the climate improved at the end of the last glaciation the ice-sheets began to melt and break up. The glacial drainage channels were cut by the large volumes of glacial meltwater which are now with a much reduced amount of water, dry valleys. In the centre of the Garleton Hills meltwater has followed glacial gouges or as in this view, it has utilized the trap features.
