Valley of the Quharity Burn The minor road keeps to the slopes on the left of this flat bottomed valley where the little Quharity Burn meanders slowly along. This must be a misfit stream in an oversized valley, which in turn must have seen glacial action and may well have once held a lake.

Valley of the Quharity Burn The minor road keeps to the slopes on the left of this flat bottomed valley where the little Quharity Burn meanders slowly along. This must be a misfit stream in an oversized valley, which in turn must have seen glacial action and may well have once held a lake.

Looking west along the valley towards Audallan The curious valley of the Quharity Burn, a very small stream in an impressive, steep sided valley which runs west to east along the base of the big hills instead of away from them. This bears all the hallmarks of a glacial spillway or overflow channel carved out at a time when the ice age was coming to an end.
