| Description: | Cir Mhor, from Glen Rosa, Isle of Arran, Buteshire. Distant view of a granite mountain, looking along a glaciated valley. Glen Rosa is a typical U-shaped glaciated valley with its floor strewn with granite erratics. The burn itself is also typical of such a situation, with a steep gradient tumbling over jagged rapids and a boulder-filled bed. Arran is one of the series of Tertiary volcanic centres grouped along the west coast of Scotland and relates to a period of crustal extension between 55 and 61 million years ago. Similar aged lavas and intrusions in the Faeroes and East Greenland were all once part of the same Tertiary igneous province, before being separated by the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. |
