Full Description
Flint deposits. Remains of a chalk flint deposit, the major source of flint in Scotland, occurs mainly above the 300ft contour on the ridge of high ground which runs westward for about 10 miles, from the coast between Invernettie (NK1244) and Stirling Hill (NK1241) to the west of Skelmuir Hill (NJ9841) and Hill of Dudwick (NJ9737). The flint, yellow in colour, occurs in the form of gravel, pebbles, nodules and boulders.
