Glen Clunie: Landscape Details

Posted on 2015-07-10 by Tim

Three photos from a pleasant afternoon’s stroll along the Baddoch Burn in Glen Clunie, just up the road from Glenshee.

Rocks can be so colourful at times, can’t they? 🙂

Colourful submerged stones and boulders, Baddoch Burn, Glen Clunie.

An outstanding boulder. The BGS has this to say about the geology of the area: Tulaichean Schist Formation – Semipelite And Psammite. Metamorphic Bedrock formed approximately 542 to 1000 million years ago in the Period. Originally sedimentary rocks formed in shallow seas. Later altered by low-grade metamorphism. You can say that again – a wonderful colourful mix of sedimentary wiggle shapes and coarse schist with marbling layers through it.
