... of these investigations the Bothkennar site was chosen. The consistency of the Carse Clay deposits in the Forth Estuary is shown to be related to the similar rates of eustatic and isostatic rise in that area between about 8500 and 6500 years BP. The southeast corner of the site has more silt-rich/laminated material...

... and is composed essentially of sand merging downwards into laminated clay. The laminated late glacial clay also occurs extensively beneath the carse muds of the lower ground and in places exceeds 100 ft (30 m) in thickness. The laminated clay rests on patchy fluvio-glacial deposits and these in turn on glacial...

The latter are not considered further here since no diagnostic faunas have been recovered. The occurrences of glacially transported shelly...

... ; Rennie and Hansom 2011 ). This rise is recorded across Scotland and is termed the Main Postglacial Transgression ( Sissons 1974 ). The resulting estuarine deposits that built up over underlying terrestrial peat in this region are referred to as carse clay. The Storegga Slide, an underwater landslide off...

... is predominant at the crest of a slope. Cuttings in over-consolidated clay are known to be susceptible to progressive failure, with softening of the toe and the development of a rupture surface into the slope, as is well documented for London Clays ( Potts et al. 1997 ). The mechanism of progressive...

In September 1863 Milne Home saw three of these implements in the Macfarlane Museum at Stirling and two at Blair Drummond House. He also mentioned two ancient canoes found near Falkirk (Milne Home 1871, p. 116). These appear to have been log...

... of the sediment, related to the packing of clay minerals, can influence the stable PDRM. Interestingly, the declination is not markedly affected.
