| Description: | Many of the vents in the Kilpatrick Hills are demonstrably sources of the local Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation. This grouping of vents and their associated tephra cones on a north-west - south-east trend, appears to have been an effective barrier that separated the volcanic sequences of the Kilpatrick Hills from the volcanic sequences of the Renfrewshire Hills. A series of Lower Carboniferous volcanic vents of the Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation: Dumbuck (left, south), Tambowie (centre), Barwood Hill (right) with Dumbarton Rock at the side of the Clyde in distance. |
