Site no.: Q25
Site name: Anagach Eskers
Grid reference:
Locality: Woods of Anagach Country Park, 1.5 km SE of Grantown-on- Spey
GCR Status: N/A
GCR No.: N/A
Type: Natural landform assemblage
Description: A network of gravel ridges (eskers) occur within the Woods of Anagach Country Park. The eskers are typically 5 to 10 m high and lie parallel to one another with few bifurcations.
Justification: Good examples of parallel eskers, which were either deposited within subglacial tunnels within a stagnant, decaying ice lobe, or within channels cut into the surface of buried ice.
