| Caption: | Lang Craigs, Kilpatrick Hills, 2 miles north-east of Dumbarton. |
| Description: | The sequence of volcanic rocks at Lang Craigs (and the whole Kilpatrick Hills) began with the Burncrooks Pyroclastic Member deposited as tephra cones, air-fall tuff and reworked volcaniclastic sediments. This was followed by 80 metres of lava flows, the Auchinden Lavas, olivine-basalts of the Craiglockhart type (ankaramite) followed by basalts of the Jedburgh type. Landslips are common on the upper slopes of the Kilpatrick Hills. They were probably initiated during the Loch Lomond Stadial. They consist of rotated blocks of basaltic lavas and tuffs. Variation in Lower Carboniferous, Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation lavas. Northern end of Lang Craigs formed by a sequence of lavas, showing rolling and variation in thickness. Moundy ground below scarp and to left (west) is a landslip. |
