| Description: | Northern horn of Carlingheugh Bay, 3.2 km. north-east of Arbroath, Angus. The 'Dark Cave' eroded along the line of a fault that brings the Upper Old Red Sandstone on the right against the Lower Old Red Sandstone on the left. A vein of barytes is seen along the main line of the fault. Further to the right, the 'Light Cave' is eroded along one of the minor faults in the Upper Old Red Sandstone. The marked difference in jointing in the two sets of rocks is very apparent. The wave-cut platform is seen in the foreground below the cliffs. |
