"Cainozoic geology and landscape evolution of north-east Scotland" (British Geological Survey)

THE MOSS OF CRUDEN


The moss of Cruden is referred to on many occasions in the above, well presented; BGS  study.

The suggested toings  and froings of the various ice sheets shown in this excellent publication is to be seen to be believed!

For my own amateur  investigations I have attempted to refer the location of our findings to suggested "Ice Free Enclaves" as found in the survey and believe that I have made a match.

To those of you who are interested in this subject the BGS publication is well worthy of a review.

The "ScARF" project carried out by Society of Antiquaries of Scotland offers alternative reading on this fascinating and unique area of what is now known as "The Moss of Cruden".

To be continued.
