Most of Kirkmichael is shown in this view, taken from the road to Drumore Farm. The village lies in the valley of the Dyrock Burn, in a lowland glacial landscape. The small rolling hills are drumlins, laid down by the moving ice sheet. The wood on the far right is growing on an esker, a long ridge of sand and gravel produced by water flowing below the melting ice sheet. The esker extends into the next square.
