View of the shore at Corrygills Point, about 3.2 km. east of Brodick, Arran, Buteshire


An erratic, a granite boulder carried eastward from the main Northern Granite mass during the last glaciation. Erratics are a characteristic feature of glaciated regions and are common on Arran.

The erratic rests on a low raised beach, an old cliff line is seen to the left. The scale is indicated by the girl standing next to it. In many coastal areas where there are concentrations of erratics they have been derived from the erosion of the boulder clay in which they have been transported.
