Land strictly above level of roads

Buttresses at all levels - immense duration of lakes - boulders from a distance? water scooping at L. Treig // Kilfinnin Has I believe // Boulder clay - Phenomenon occurring elsewhere = Several other lakes? gradual drying away of terraces - generality of the phenomenon - Haugh not explained. I do not know whether glacier cd block up Glen Gluoy & Kilfinnin

I cannot conceive drawing so slow over ice & from [illeg] Tombril terraces, as to form butresses in former case & shelf in latter.
