| Caption: | South side of Ochil Hills near Stirling, Stirlingshire. |
| Description: | The Carse Clays are widespread marine and estuarine silts and clays that resemble tidal flats. They were deposited between 8500 and 5500 years ago when a postglacial marine transgression flooded the Forth Valley up to a height of 14 m. above present O.D. The steep scarp is formed by the Ochil Fault separating the Lower Old Red Sandstone igneous rocks of the Ochil Hills and the flat plain of faulted-down Carboniferous rocks covered in postglacial marine clays, the Carse Clays. |
