| Description: | Glen Tilt, south-west of Marble Lodge, four miles north-west of Blair Atholl, Perthshire. A glacial moraine barrier extends across the Tilt Valley, this has been cut through by a stream that has been partly deflected by it. The valley follows the line of the Loch Tay Fault, one of a series of major brittle north-east - south-west trending faults formed after the end of the Caledonian Orogeny. It is thought that this fault could have formed on the limb of late ductile folds during the final stages of this Orogeny, it is in close proximity to such a fold called the Boundary Slide. The fault has acted as large line of weakness that has been exploited during a long history of erosion. |
