| Description: | Valley of Allt a' Choire Mhoir, Fannich Forest, Ross & Cromarty. Moraines and moraine-dammed lochans. In the Fannich Mountains during the last glaciation all the larger valleys were occupied by glaciers. As they retreated the rock debris that was carried by the glaciers that had been either been picked up by erosion of the valley bottom or sides or had fallen onto the glacier surface from the surrounding mountains, was dumped in the valley bottom to form moraines of various types, in this case hummocky moraines. |
