Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Paired River Terraces The branches of the tree point to the deeply incised valley of the R.Ayr. The flat grassy area just beyond the fence in the foreground and the similar grassy area on the opposite side of the valley are both part of the same former floodplain of the R. Ayr and are called river terraces. The glacial till which had been deposited in the valley during the glacial period, has been eroded by the outpouring of meltwater down the valley as the ice melted at the end of the glacial era. The R.Ayr to-day is a misfit stream flowing in a valley which could not have been created by the present river. Because the river terraces are virtual mirror images, they are referred to as 'paired terraces'.
The 2 farms located on the gently sloping land in the distance, are Burntshield and Merkland. |
