| Description: | Incised meander in the Corriebeagh Burn, about 13 km. north-east of Callander, Perthshire. Looking east-south-east along an incised meander. The local bedrock is volcaniclastic conglomerate and sandstone in the northern limb of the Strathmore Syncline. The north slope of Meall a' Choire Riabhaich can be seen on the right, and Cromlet (with peat hags on top) in the background. Occasionally, when watercourses cut down to a lower base level of erosion, a meander which had developed in alluvium on a flood plain can cut downwards and become incised into bedrock. The natural progression of the meander is thus ended, preserving the sinuous shape of the stream just before incision. |
