Hummocky ground at Coul There are a lot of humps, hollows and ridges in this area, all signs of glacial deposition where ice from the glens met lower ground and deposited material. These humps look like moraines, but might be an esker.

Rabbits just love moraines An exposed section of a glacial moraine at Coul with many different rocks embedded. The soft material is much liked by rabbits, as can be seen by the number of burrows in the mound.
