| Description: | Head of Choire Mhoir, Fannich Forest, Ross & Cromarty. Gullies and alluvial fans formed by torrential erosion of glacial drift. Floor of corrie was covered by much morainic material at end of last glaciation. Ridge running across photo in middle distance marks limit of moraine. In postglacial period, this material has suffered rapid erosion in an area of high rainfall. Flash floods have removed the vegetation cover and eroded deep gullies in the moraine. At the foot of the steep slope the coarser material washed down the slope has been redeposited as a series of alluvial fans. |
