| Description: | Largo Law, 2.5 km. north of Upper Largo, Fifeshire. Dissected volcanic vent. Largo Law is a large volcanic vent filled with agglomerate of basaltic composition. The vent is c. 2 km. across and oval in shape. Despite being more resistant than the surrounding sedimentary rocks or even the volcanic rocks around Upper Largo, the rocks of the vents are very poorly exposed and form smooth hills. The few crags on the slopes are related to large blocks or minor intrusions of basaltic rocks within the vent. The vent cuts through sandstone and basaltic tuff of the Passage Formation (Clackmannan Group, Namurian), and is of late Carboniferous or early Permian age. |
