| Description: | Near Achnasheen, Ross and Cromarty. Fluvioglacial terraces of sand and gravel. The height of the terraces is about 25 m. above the present floor of the valley. The terraces were deposited during the retreat of the last main glaciation. Valley glaciers released meltwaters which laid down extensive spreads of sand and gravel whenever the gradient levelled out. These deposits are typical. Another terrace can be seen in the background. |
