| Description: | Ben Vrackie, from the south-west 3 miles north of Pitlochry, Perthshire. The Dalradian Ben Vrackie sill complex. A series of thick metabasic sills cut the graphitic schists of the Ben Eagach Schist and Ben Lawers Schist. They may have been a series of high level intrusions that fed the overlying Farradon Beds, metamorphosed tuffs, agglomerates and lavas. On the lower slopes are morainic deposits. During the maximum glaciation Ben Vrackie was completely overridden by the ice, glacial striae indicate the ice sheet moved in an east-south-east direction. |
