Site name: Carn Dubh, Ben Gulabin
Grid reference:
Locality: E slopes of Carn Dubh, Ben Gulabin, 2 km NNE of the Spittal of Glenshee
GCR Status: Confirmed
GCR No.: 3267
Type: Natural landforms
Description: A translational failure in steeply dipping metasedimentrary rocks, a type of rockslide that is fairly widespread in the Scottish Highlands. The distinctiveness of this site arises from the unusual form of debris runout, which takes the form of two thick debris tongues bounded by steep levees.
Justification: Mass-movement GCR sites in Precambrian and Cambrian rocks, GCR Site 3267 (Cooper, 2007)
