| Description: | Gleann Einich, 9.7 km. south-south-east of Aviemore. Inverness-shire. Deltaic fluvioglacial terraces of sand and gravel isolated and denuded by subsequent stream action. The present stream is eroding a deep channel through a great accumulation of water-worn material that at one time completely filled the bottom of the glen and now forms wide flat-topped terraces on both sides of the burn. The overall picture in the area was one where the high northern slopes of the Cairngorms were mostly free of ice, apart from the high corrie hanging glaciers. The great hollow of Glen More was filled with an ice mass, tongues of which protruded into the lower parts of Gleann Einich and the Lairig Ghru forming a dam behind which a glacial lake formed. |
