Valley in front of the Long Crags
This is a view along the valley that can be seen on the near side of the ridge in NS4376 : Ridge and valley in front of the Long Crags. The ridge itself is on the left in the present photograph.
The Long Crags
The Long Crags, sometimes called the Lang Craigs, are the western escarpment of the Kilpatrick Hills. The lava (Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation) from which they are made originated in widespread volcanic activity about 350 million years ago, in the Carboniferous Period. The escarpment is shown as "Long Craig" in Roy's Military Survey of Scotland (1740s—50s). It gives its name to nearby Lang Craigs Woodland (c.2011): Link
