| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Lochnagar from the south-east, Aberdeenshire. Dissected high level plateaux. A view north-westwards from above upper Glen Clova, across Glen Muick to the summit ridge of Lochnagar (1155 m.). Two distinct plateau surfaces can be seen; the lower at 700 m., cut in the middle distance by the deep trough of Glen Muick and a higher level (1040 m.) extending westwards from Lochnagar to encompass The Mounth. The bulk of the photographed area is underlain by granites of the Lochnagar intrusion, but the crags in the foreground comprise quartz-diorite of the Juanjorge body. The extensive area of wasting blanket peat on the plateau in the foreground is again very evident. |
