A Drumlin near Crosshill
Image: © Mary and Angus Hogg Taken: 5 Jan 2012
South Ayrshire's farmland has been shaped by glacial deposits from the last Ice Age, typically from low rolling mounds called drumlins. This one, between Dalduff and Garpin Farms in the Girvan Valley, shows the classic drumlin shape. The field boundaries lie along the crest, while the road between Maybole and Crosshill follows a lower line, next to Garpin Farm. Viewed from outside the square, near Kileekie Farm, with very wet ground conditions.
