<br />
The Harelaw Lava Member is part of the [[Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation]].<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
Previously named the Harelaw Lavas. See MacPherson and Phillips (1997)<ref name="macpherson97">MacPherson, K A T, and Phillips, E R. 1997.

<br />
=== Lithology ===<br />
The Harelaw Lava Member consists of trachyte, trachyandesite and trachybasalt lava.<br />
<br />
=== Stratotype ===<br />
The type area is the Dunlop–Eaglesham moors between Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, discontinous across an area around Halker (NS 4100 5000), Neilston (NS 5200 5800), Glenouther Rig (NS 4800 4800) and Blackwood Hill (NS 5500 4700).<br />
<br />
=== Lower and upper boundaries ===<br />
The base is unconformable on the Moyne Moor and Neilston lava members that consist of basaltic lavas.<br />
<br />
The member is overlain by the [[Upper Flow Moss Lava Member]]. The contact is considered unconformable and locally intrusive. The trachytic lava flows are thought to have had significant dome-like topographical expression immediately after eruption.<br />
<br />
=== Thickness ===<br />
More than 70 m.<br />
<br />
=== Distribution and regional correlation ===<br />
Dunlop–Eaglesham moors between Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, discontinous across an area around Halker (NS 4100 5000), Neilston (NS 5200 5800), Glenouther Rig (NS 4800 4800) and Blackwood Hill (NS 5500 4700).<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
Mid Visean (Arundian to Asbian).<br />
