Abstract:

A former glacier is described in Glen Geusachan similar to that identified by Sissons (1979), which probably dates from the Loch Lomond Stadial. However, the “hummocky moraine” within these glacial limits is reinterpreted here as an assemblage of individual ice-marginal landforms. It implies that the Loch Lomond Stadial deglaciation in Glen Geusachan was characterized by active retreat, the stages and pattern of which are described. © 1991, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
