Extract

The purpose of this communication is to describe, and to discuss the significance of, (1) the extensive morainic deposits and the associated glacial phenomena of the tract of country situated immediately west of the Ochil Hills (border of Perthshire and Fifeshire)—between the River Teith near Doune, north of Stirling, and the River Tay in the vicinity of Perth; and (2) a well-marked later glaciation studied in the region of Loch Lomond and the Upper Forth valley.

In both instances these glaciations involved readvances of the ice during the retreat of the last general ice-sheet, and for brevity and convenience of description they will be referred to as the Perth Readvance and the Loch Lomond Readvance.
