| Description: | Stack of Ulbster, 1.5 km. east of Ulbster, Caithness. Stack of conglomerate. On the near side the Mill Burn fault enters the cliff; the mudstones dipping at high angles are seen on the near side of the fault. Stack consists of massive conglomerate (Langwell Conglomerate Member) belonging to the Ousdale Arkose Formation of Lower Devonian age. Mudstones belonging to the Braemore Mudstone Formation have been tilted to steep dips near the Mill Burn Fault. They are exposed on the mainland in the near foreground. Still on the mainland, the Mill Burn Fault occupies the gully, and the cliff behind is made of conglomerate. |
