Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ladder-like pattern of ditches, Carman Muir. A prominent ladder-like pattern of ditches runs for a considerable distance across this part of Carman Muir, providing drainage for forestry planting which never happened; see 1178732.

In the area shown here, the nearer of the two long channels running from left to right was the deeper, and, when this picture was taken, contained water. The ditches forming the "rungs" of the pattern are rather less deep, and make an angle of about 60° with the two main ditches.

In the background, just right of centre, the volcanic plug of Dumbarton Rock is visible on the nearer shore of the River Clyde, with the three high flats of West Bridgend in front of it (928292). Also located on this side of the river, and visible in the left-hand side of the image, is the plateau of the Kilpatrick Hills, with Dumbuck Quarry at its right-most tip.
