Strathnairn. Ann and Peter Reynolds

28 June 2026

Evidence for the Ice Age in Upper Strathnairn. There is a large variety of evidence for the last ice age in the area to the south west of the A9 at Daviot. Classic structures such as roches moutonées, eskers, kettle holes and erratic boulders are obvious. There are also outflow terraces, water escape channels, boulder trains, kames and kame terraces as well as one of only two known Jokulhlaups in the UK. This trip will try to view as much as possible during the day, rather than providing exhaustive coverage of the subject. It will be suitable for all levels of geological expertise.

Anyone wishing to attend day trips or to find out more should email:    HighlandGeologicalSociety@Gmail.com    Your email will be passed to the individual event organiser who will respond to you directly.
Field trip contributions are £5 per person / day.
