Loch Lomond - RSPB Loch Lomond
Yellow Flag Iris (Iris pseudacorus) in Twenty Acres - compartment 10, RSPB Loch Lomond, a habitat suitable for butterflies, taken by David Palmar. In the background is Duncryne, a crag and tail landform. The crag is an old volcanic neck - probably Carboniferous - and the tail, being in the lee of the hard crag rock, has escaped as much glacial erosion by the last ice age in the region of 10,000 years ago.
