| Description: | Upper Findhorn Valley, 0.8 km. upstream of Coignafearn (Old Lodge), Inverness-shire. Mouth of marginal glacial channel. Wooded gully is narrow channel cut by meltwaters during the deglaciation of the area. At that time it carried meltwater towards the Findhorn Valley at a time when it was still occupied by a valley glacier. The central channel runs right down to the Findhorn Valley, indicating that it was active until the Findhorn glacier had completely wasted away. Bedrock is biotite granodiorite of the Findhorn Pluton, containing abundant xenoliths of psammite and quartzite. |
