| Description: | Bruce Stone, Glen Trool, Kirkcudbright. Erratic boulders arranged to form a memorial cairn. Looking south. The 'Bruce Stone' memorial was erected in 1926 to commemorate a battle of 1307. The stone is an erratic block of Loch Doon 'granite' resting on a pile of smaller erratic boulders. The memorial is built on a glaciated pavement of hornfelsed greywacke country rock. Mulldonach, in distance, is also composed of hornfelsed greywacke. Granite erratics can be found widely scattered around the Loch Doon granite pluton and testify to the former glacial conditions in the region during the Devensian. The Loch Doon granite area was the centre of a local ice cap and glaciers moved outwards onto lower ground with an approximately radial pattern of flow, carrying along rock debris as erratic blocks. |
