| Description: | The 'Fallen Rocks', near Millstone Point, 6.4 km. north-north-west of Corrie, Isle of Arran, Buteshire. Landslip of Upper Old Red Sandstone conglomerate blocks. Looking south. The east coast of Arran north of Glen Sannox is quite steep, leading to areas of landslip. Here, large masses of Upper Old Red Sandstone conglomerate and sandstone have fallen from the cliffs and covered the rocks along the coast. The basal beds of the Carboniferous (faulted contact) occur just north of this locality. Much of the so-called Upper Old Red Sandstone is now considered to be early Carboniferous in age. |
