| Description: | Achnasheen. Ross & Cromarty. Glaciofluvial terraces. A classic landform site as an example of glaciofluvial outwash and delta terraces formed by meltwater deposition in an ice-dammed lake during the Loch Lomond Stadial c. 11,000-10,000 years ago. Conspicuous high-level terraces and numerous fragments of lower level terraces occur down to the present river flood plain. The height of the terraces are in the range of 25-30 metres above the existing flood plain. |
