| Description: | Burn a little north of Tynateid, 1.8 km. south-south-east of Killiecrankie Station, Perthshire. A section in deep boulder clay approximately 100 feet deep in a misfit stream valley. This is a well-known section of boulder clay east of Tynateid that was described by Dr. T.F. Jamieson in his paper on the Drift of the north of Scotland. It shows the great depth to which boulder clay was deposited as ground moraine by the retreating ice sheets. There is a faintly-marked stratification dipping gently to the westward. |
