NJ2034 : An Erratic

taken 5 years ago, 3 km from Bridge of Avon, Moray, Scotland

An Erratic
An Erratic
This large boulder beside the Tomintoul Spur of the Speyside Way LinkExternal link is granitic in texture, and sits on glacial deposits on top of psammites and pelites, so it has to be an erratic brought by a glacier from somewhere else and dumped when the ice melted. In the background is Cnoc na Sealg.
Speyside Way

The Speyside Way is a long-distance path linking Buckie on the Moray Coast to Aviemore in Strathspey.
The official Speyside Way web site at LinkExternal link has more information, not all of it accurate and some of it getting out of date.
Beware a similar-sounding unofficial web site ending in .org that contains inaccurate information but tends to come up in search engines well ahead of the official one!
