The Late Quaternary glacial history of the Trotternish Escarpment, Isle of Skye, Scotland, and its implications for ice-sheet reconstruction
Geomorphological mapping indicates that the last (Late Devensian) Scottish ice sheet moved northwards across the Trotternish Peninsula. A periglacial trimline inferred to represent the maximum altitude of the last ice sheet descends northwards from 580–610 m to 440–470 m over 24 km. Retreat of the i...
