| Description: | West side of Oxroad Bay, Tantallon, 4.5 km. east of North Berwick, East Lothian. Cliff of bedded tuff, and platform of recent marine erosion. Subhorizontally bedded basaltic tuffs of the Garleton Hills Volcanic Formation (Strathclyde Group, Visean) exposed in foreground cliff. Tuffs are thinly bedded with no obvious cross-bedding. Behind this cliff is a volcanic vent filled with basaltic agglomerate. Another vent occurs in cliffs below and beyond Tantallon Castle (distance). On foreshore in front of castle, the rocks are mudstones and siltstones of the Ballagan Formation. Platform of marine erosion has been cut in rocks on foreshore below cliffs. |
