So next time you are slogging up one of the city's many hills, just remember you're climbing part of an ancient glacial landscape. It won't make it any easier, but it might just distract you from your efforts for a few minutes!
However, not all Glasgow hills are drumlins. For example, the hill the necropolis is built on isn't a drumlin. Instead is the remains of an extinct volcano, but it too has been sculpted by glacial action, with the ice whittling away the outer rock, leaving just the central plug of solidified magma sticking into the air.

This lovely Trustees reservation includes two (#Pleistocene) drumlins and some #glacier-scraped bedrock (#Ediacaran Dedham #Granite, ca. 636-596 Ma, oldest rocks exposed in the Boston Basin). The granite forms coastal cliffs and rocky coves & beaches. This photo is from near the top of the inner #drumlin.

Van korrel tot borrel. Mooie reportage op RTV Drenthe over de Cromlech whisky van de Drumlin distillery uit Havelte, met initiatiefnemer Erik Poutsma.
Cromlech is de naam van de nieuwe Drentse whisky. "Dat is Keltisch voor hunebed", legt de Havelter stoker uit.
Wij hebben daar ook een fles liggen van de first batch 😀.
