| Description: | Looking north-north-east from near Inverchoran, Strath Conon, Inverness-shire. The River Meig valley developed along the shatter belt of the major Strathconon Fault. The fault has formed a line of weakness from Loch Hourn to the Kildermorie Forest in Easter Ross. This enabled preferential erosion during the last glaciation to form the U-shaped valley and now erosion by the river. Note the shingle banks and the cut-off channel in the foreground. |
