| Description: | Looking south-westwards along the deep channel of the West Burn, Touch Hills, Stirlingshire. A fault plane cutting the Calciferous Sandstone Measures lavas of the Touch Hills. These lavas form the prominent scarp features of Craigbrock Hill on the left of the photograph. The channel was probably deepened if not originally formed by melt water escaping across the dip-slope of the lavas from the waning Forth Glacier to the north. In the background lie the wooded crags of Gillies Hill to the left and Sauchie Craigs to the right, formed by the Stirling quartz-dolerite sill. |
