| Description: | Torr a' Chlarsair, 1.8 km. west of Ardchuilk, Glen Strathfarrar, Inverness-shire. Small hill separating two glacial dry valleys on north side of present course of River Farrar. Silted up lake-basin in foreground. East end of postglacial lake in foreground (see photos C01310, C01311). Rock bar damming lake in middle distance (just above road) has two notches, possibly overflow channels when present exit to lake basin was still blocked by ice. Left notch is sizeable gully with oversteepened rock face extending up to skyline. Right notch is followed by road; it is only a small distance above present outlet to basin. Bedrock is mostly psammite (metamorphosed sandstone), with units of pelite (metamorphosed mudstone), here commonly garnetiferous and gneissose, up to 0.5 km. wide. All these rocks belong to the Moine Supergroup (probably Glenfinnan Group). |
