Such soils are represented by a broad class of
shallow or weakly developed soils including
alluvial soils, soils developed on coastal dunes and in relatively flat areas of
blown sand, called links or machair ion Scotland and shallow soils resting almost directly
onto rock or shattered rock. Such soils are distributed throughout almost the entire
range of environmental conditions within Scotland and are generally classified
according to their parent material; rather than by processes of soil
formation.
