| Description: | South-west of Marble Lodge, Glen Tilt, 6.4 km. north of Blair Atholl, Perthshire. Glacial moraine deposits formed a barrier across the Tilt Valley which has been subsequently cut through by a stream which has also been partially deflected by it. Dalradian metasedimentary rocks have been cut by the major brittle north-east - south-west trending Loch Tay Fault formed after the end of the Caledonian Orogeny. The fault has acted as large line of weakness that has been exploited during a long history of erosion. |
