A McKillop Sannox M Mackay Glen Ramsay's Geology |
226 | Huge masses of rock extending from Creag a Chaise to the Sea. "About 2 miles from Sannox, the eye of the traveller is Suddenly arrested by a Scene as imposing as it is unexpected, known by the name of the Fallen Rocks. An immense cliff of old red sandstone conglomerate which overhung the brow of the hill. Seems suddenly to have given way, and the entire slope is covered with huge irregular masses of rock, hurled from above, in the wildest and most tumultuous confusion, and which now strew the face of the hill from its summit to the Sea". Ramsay's Geology. |
