| 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. The large terrace on the left is designated the highest terrace, the railway indicated by the line of telegraph poles runs at its base on a lower terrace. On the right numerous fragments of terraces remain with drift mounds on the upper slopes. Ledgowan Lodge is on the extreme left with the Ledgowan Hotel left of centre. |
