The prominent gully is the course of the White Stripe (the term 'stripe' means a stream) which drains the south-west flank of Millstone Hill. Its shape, and its size relative to its catchment area, suggest that it is in fact occupying a glacial meltwater channel. The linear shadow just beyond the foreground field is the embankment of the former Keith to Buckie railway line, the gap in it marking where there was originally a bridge.
