Ryvoan shoreline

Uploader's Comments

When the glacial meltwater came through the gap in the photo, its way down to Glenmore was blocked by ice and it formed a lake here, eventually spilling out North through the Eag a'Garbh Choire to Abernethy. The remaining deposits are the shoreline of this relic lake.
