| Description: | 1.2 km. north of Whiting Ness, 2.8 km. east-north-east of Arbroath, Angus. The formation of a 'gloup' or blowhole in Lower Old Red Sandstone (Lower Devonian) rocks. A gloup' or blowhole cave has been driven into the Lower Old Red Sandstone along joint planes and resulting in the roof collapsing to the inland side. Although about 15 m. above sea-level, the surf during storms still rushes up the funnel, and continues to widen the hole as shown by the abrasion and rounding of the sandstone on the surface level. |
