| Description: | View taken from between Skid Hill and Byrie Hill, Garleton Hills, 3.2 km. north-north-west of Haddington, East Lothian. Looking east-north-east. Marginal ice stream. The bed of a marginal ice stream channel on the hill slope can be seen in the right centre of photo. The Garleton Hills must have formed a barrier to the ice during the Devensian so that the main glaciers flowed around it to the north and into the Forth estuary. When the ice began to recede, stagnant ice may have blocked the lower ground so that drainage for the large volumes of water became established around the margins of the ice sheet for melt water to flow away. This is evidenced by the numerous drainage channels cut in rock and boulder clay mapped out in the Garleton Hills. |
