| Description: | Garleton Hills, Kae Heughs, East Lothian. Looking east. Lower Carboniferous trachyte lava flows at the top of the Garleton Hills Volcanic Formation, Strathclyde Group. Here, on the north face of the Garleton Hills, they have been eroded to form a one-sided marginal glacial drainage channel. This would have been cut when the low ground on the left of the photograph was choked with stagnant ice filling the Firth of Forth. Drainage water would then have escaped around the south side of the ice sheet, between the ice and the rock wall, cutting this one-sided channel in the process. |
