| Description: | Looking down the valley of the Clyde to Kirkfieldbank from near Lanark, Lanarkshire. The River Clyde flowing through and denuding drift deposits. The hummocky gravel kame in the foreground shows the original surface left by the ice-sheet during its retreat. This gives a measure of the amount of erosion by the River Clyde since the end of the glacial period. The Clyde, like other large rivers in Scotland, has had a long history extending back well before the last glaciation. This is well demonstrated by the boulder clay-filled buried channel of the Clyde at Glasgow, a feature which allowed a deep-water channel to be dredged as far upstream as the Broomilaw. This would not have been possible had the Clyde flowed over a rocky bed. |
