Abstract
The present paper provides a contribution to the study of the glacial history of Angus, a subject which has been sadly neglected during the last hundred years. A detailed description of the glacial deposits in the Lunan and Brothock valleys is given, and it is concluded that the last ice sheet to occupy the area advanced after the “100-foot” marine incursion. This ice advance is tentatively correlated with the Aberdeen advance described by Synge and the Perth advance described by J. B. Simpson.Keywords
