| Description: | From near Inchvuilt, Glen Strathfarrar, looking east, Inverness-shire. Silted-up lake basin on the River Farrar. A lake about 2 km. long and up to 500 m. wide formed in postglacial times has now been filled with clay and silt.The level ground has been partly drained by ditches. The lake basin was dammed by a rock bar, seen in distance. The glacial overdeepening of valleys is typically due to variations in hardness of the bedrock. Here the gneissose pelites (metamorphosed mudstones) forming the bar may have been slightly more resistant to erosion than the flaggy psammites (metamorphosed sandstones) in which the basin is carved. |
