Caption: | Gold-bearing quartz veins, Calliachar Burn, near Aberfeldy, Perthshire. |
Description: | Gold-bearing quartz veins, Calliachar Burn one kilometre south of Urlan Farm, five kilometres south-south-west of Aberfeldy, Perthshire. At the Calliachar Burn, thin quartz veins alter metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Southern Highland Schists, Upper Dalradian (Precambrian). A small amount of gold has recently been produced by the operating company, Colby Gold PLC, from the veins, following records of alluvial gold by the BGS Geochemical Survey Programme. |
