| Caption: | Corrieshalloch Gorge on the River Broom, Ross and Cromarty. |
| Description: | The form of the gorge is determined by the steeply-dipping or vertical joints trending north-west - south-east and north-east - south-west and has a stepped long profile over the waterfalls including the spectacular Falls of Measach. Interspersed with the waterfalls are deep boulder-filled pools which are thought to be extending progressively upstream by the process of waterfall recession. The gorge was cut in undifferentiated Moine psammites in the last phases of glaciation (and possibly earlier phases) by glacial meltwaters. It is c. 1.25 km. long, 60 m. deep and only 10 m. wide at its narrowest point. |
