Perthshire - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03) |
 | | Its head-waters are the Fillan and Dochart, and among its affluents are, on the right, the Bran, Almond and Earn and, on the left, the Lyon, Tummel, rising in Argyllshire and receiving the Garry on its left, and Isla. |
 | | A great variety of schists form the bulk of the series; but granite masses appear in their midst as at Loch Rannoch, Loch Ericht and Glen Tilt, and there are numerous acid and intermediate dikes which are themselves traversed by later basaltic dikes. |
 | | The gravel cones poured out at the mouths of many of the glens which open on the south of the Ochils on to the too-ft. or 50-ft. beaches are often the site of villages. |
