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.

Campsie and Fintry Hills
The Campsie Fells with Dumgoyne and Dumfoyn, taken from Kelvindale, Glasgow by David Palmar. These two volcanic plugs or necks mark the western end of the Campsie Fells. The Carboniferous outpouring of lava from these volcanoes and others gave rise to the Campsies, Kilpatricks and Renfrew heights, which are collectively known as the Clyde Plateau Lavas. To the right can be seen some of the lava flows. The weather is a typically anticyclonic winter scene, with cold dry air, blue skies and snow.
