| Description: | Looking north across the River Endrick from near Fintry, the northern edge of the Campsie Hills, Stirlingshire. The hills are formed of a lava pile up to 900 m. thick, the Clyde Plateau Lavas of Lower Carboniferous, Dinantian age. The top line of the feature is due to successive basic lava flows overlying volcanic ash making softer features, under which the lowest lava flow stands strongly out. The sediments of the Cementstone Group form the slope below in which a white sandstone makes minor features. The lavas extend much farther than the Campsie Hills, their outcrop forms a semi-circle of hills extending from Stirling south-westwards to Greenock and from there to Strathaven. The lavas are also known to underlie the Central Coalfield at least as far east as Salsburgh. |
