Site no.: Q9
Site name: Beinn a' Ghlo landslides
Grid reference:
Locality: The northern and eastern flanks of Beinn a' Ghlo, especially within the steep sided valley of the Allt Fheannach
GCR Status: N/A
GCR No.: N/A
Type: Landform assemblage
Description: Several large rock slope failures, including creep, antiscarps and open tension cracks. A relatively recently formed tension crack
Justification: An atypical cluster of landslide features that requires further research to fully explain. Landslides have influenced the long- term landscape evolution of the region and they tend to cluster within relatively recently formed glacial breaches
