The glen itself is said to have been a meltwater channel for the glaciers of the Loch Lomond Readvance. In that connection, the first paper cited below mentions the NW—SE trend of drumlins at nearby Townhead Farm. Ref: "The significance of blocks of shelly till from Townhead Farm, Helensburgh (P MacDonald, pages 41—42 of West Dunbartonshire Naturalist Report No 6; West Dunbartonshire Natural History Society, 1984). This in turn cites: Browne M A E, McMillan A A, Hall I H S (1983), "Blocks of marine clay in till near Helensburgh, Strathclyde", Scott. J. Geol., 19, 321—25.
