| Description: | Near Achnasheen, Ross and Cromarty. A fluvioglacial terrace showing alternations of fine and coarse gravel, with current-bedded laminated sands and capping of coarse torrential gravel in the meander scar. The terrace was 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. |
