Ling Hut Glen Torridon

Described by www.scottishgeology.com/best-places/beinn-eighe/ as "The remarkable Coire a’ Cheud-chnoic, or Valley of a Hundred Hills, is one of the best examples of hummocky moraine in Scotland. On the ground, this is a chaotic array of moraine mounds and ridges. When viewed from above, however, the moraines are often aligned in parallel rows, at an angle to the valley sides. These alignments indicate the former ice-margin positions as the glaciers retreated. Behind Beinn Eighe, Coire Mhic Fhearchair is one of Scotland’s most spectacular corries. At the lip of the corrie there are good examples of ice-moulded bedrock with glacial striations and rock surfaces abraded by the ice."
