Knowes Farm The Knowes translates as 'the knolls' in the ancient Scottish language. There is certainly a surfeit of grassy knolls in the area.

Knock Knowe 'Knock' is a Scottish variant of 'clock'. A 'Knowe' is a knoll in the Scottish language. I have no idea why this hill is so named. It appears to be a completely featureless, muddy, ploughed object.

Mull Glen The steep v-shaped profile of Mull Glen suggests that it was carved by a river rather than being a glacial meltwater channel. For a similar view in sunshine see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5550049">NX1331 : Mull Glen</a>.

Pink Beach Almost every other rock along here is named on one or other of the maps, but this little stony bay doesn't seem to have a name. The pink pebbles seem to be mainly from an outcrop of felsite which forms the isthmus between West Tarbet and East Tarbet.

Sole Structures Geologically speaking, this is a real bit of "ooh-ah" rock. It's the underside of a sandstone bed which was deposited on a surface eroded into a series of hollows created by currents in an underwater avalanche when it reached the deep ocean bed. Since then the bed has been raised and tilted to beyond the vertical by tectonic movements, and the underlying stratum has been eroded away, leaving this spectacular rock face. The rounded lobes point upstream, so the current that created this was flowing more or less towards where I am standing, but several layers higher up the succession.

Slouchanamars This area abounds in splendid names for rocks, and this one is one of the best. It is probably Gaelic in origin, and makes a much more evocative title than something like 'boulders on the shore'.
