| Description: | Pool of Muckhart, looking west. Perth and Kinross. Moundy glacial sand and gravel. South-east of Pool of Muckhart. Ochils in distance. The gently rolling uneven topography in the foreground extending to the base of the foothills is composed of glacial sand and gravels deposited at the end of the Devensian when the ice sheets melted. The Ochil Hills are formed of volcanic rocks of Lower Devonian age. The Ochil Fault, a major fracture in the Midland Valley separates the Carboniferous lower lands covered by sands and gravels from the Lower Devonian high ground. This normal fault has a maximum downthrow of 3000 metres near Alva. |
