| Description: | View north from Balloch to Loch Lomond and River Leven. The height of this river outlet was raised during the Loch Lomond Readvance when marine clays and silts and later sands and gravels were deposited before the ice reached its maximum extent. The Highland Line is defined by the line of islands that lie farthest south-east (Inchmurrin - Creinch - Torrinch - Inchcailloch). The low ground of the Rossdhu peninsula (left) is underlain by Upper Devonian/Lower Carboniferous sandstones and conglomerates. |
