Roche moutonnée near Castle Loch
A glacial feature formed where protruding bedrock has been smoothed on its upstream side by ice flowing over it, but on the downstream side the ice has plucked stone away, leaving a steeper more broken face. The ice would have flowed over this rock from left to right.
