| Caption: | Looking northwards from a point a little north of Dalriach Lodge (Brae Roy Lodge), Glen Roy, Inverness-shire. |
| Description: | The photographs show the three successive lake terraces ('Parallel Roads') at levels of 260, 325 and 350 m. O.D. respectively. Only remnants of lower terrace are seen at intervals. In the foreground is the glaciofluvial outwash fan backed by terminal moraines. It is a coarsening-upwards succession of sandy to bouldery gravel overlain and underlain by glaciolacustrine silts. Its bedding is roughly parallel to the fan surface. At the junction of C02363 and C02364 is the smaller East Allt Dearg fan, the succession is rock, gravels, lake silt, gravels. It has been interpreted as possibly a delta on the 260 m. lake with a subaerial origin for the lower gravels. The Parallel Roads of Glen Roy and the dissected outwash fan of Glen Turret. The river flows from right to left i.e. from east to west. Part of a panorama with C02361, C02363, C02364. The description is for the whole panorama. |
