| Description: | Whiting Ness, 1.6 km. east-north-east of Arbroath, Angus. The Unconformable junction of Upper Old Red Sandstone and the Lower Old Red Sandstone. Part of a panorama with C02480. Unconformable junction of red sandstones and conglomerates of the Upper Old Red Sandstone that dip very gently at 10 degrees to the south-east, resting upon an uneven surface of more inclined fine- to coarse-grained, pebbly, cross-bedded sandstones and mud-flake conglomerates of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. The line of the unconformity can be traced north-east for 250 m. It has been worked out that the ancient land surface on which the Upper Old Red Sandstone rocks have been deposited had a relief of up to 100 m. |
