| Description: | Dunbeath Water, 4.8 km. north-west of Dunbeath, Caithness. Postglacial gorge in Berriedale Flags. Cliffs formed of thinly-bedded flaggy purple siltstones and sandstones belonging to the upper part of the Berriedale Sandstone Formation (Middle Devonian). The flagstones dip towards the camera at around 10 degrees. Subvertical joints are 1-2 m. apart. This narrow gorge has been cut by a river running from the gently-sloping inland plateau of Caithness to the sea in postglacial times. |
