Crombie Country Park A short walk around this quiet and peaceful park after a day and a half of rain. Sodden ground but fresh air. A lot of tree damage is evident here from previous winter storms - it will take some clearing.

Rocky Outcrop Most of the land around here is covered by a blanket of glacial deposits, but this outcrop has been exposed by the action of the Crombie Burn, which has carved out the nearby Crombie Den. The strata are mudstones and siltstones of the Dundee Flagstone Formation, formed about 400 million years ago.
