NS4377 : One end of the crags

taken 6 years ago, 3 km from Milton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

One end of the crags
One end of the crags
The escarpment ends here. This is a view back from 200 metres further along the path shown in NS4377 : A path above one end of the crags. Black Wood can be seen almost directly ahead, on the other side of the glen of the Overtoun Burn. Also on the other side of that glen, but further to the right, is a long outcrop called NS4377 : Black Craig.

The more distant green hills include Carman Hill and adjacent muirs. Further away again, the skyline hills in blue haze are on the other side of the Clyde.

See NS4377 : A path to lower ground for a view in the opposite direction from the same point.
The Long Crags :: NS4376

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
